it's so easy to go out and look at the garden and think, why is it such a mess? especially when i've just been to the Botanics and admired their herbaceous border and wondered why mine doesn't look like that..........answer: because i haven't had 100 years and armies of gardeners to make it look like that............we are kind of between flowers at the moment, but that diascia has to be the best value for money of any plant i've ever put in, still flowering away madly by the pond..............the geraniums have finished so there's just loads of foliage and no flowers...............the poppies "Angels Choir" are just starting to flower, and a couple more days and we'll have love-in-a-mist............also the organic rose hasn't finished after all, it's putting out a couple more buds...........
...........most of the underplantings are now being swamped by the big plants so i might move a few into the pondside gravel...........loads of clumps of grass are growing through it, in fact loads of clumps of grass are growing everywhere but in the lawn..........they're easy enough to pull out but it would be nice to have some little thymes and such........the catmint seems to be spreading everywhere as well............
.....need to move the stripey hemerocallis i think, it's being completely dwarfed by the other one and not getting any light, in fact that whole corner needs a makeover............the original hemero has grown absolutely huge and is having a second flush of flowers............did i put steroids in that comfrey feed i wonder?.............
