My plan to grow as much from seed this year is in full swing.
Keeping notes is always a good idea. Neatness would appear to have tailed off though! In addition, some plant labels have become lost along the way – good job I recognised the leaf.
The mixed bean seedlings practically punched their way through the compost, and I have followed the courgette seed instructions.
I continue to find gorgeous new plants at work. This is Dodecatheon meadia or Shooting star, which likes to grow in shade. I came across this truly stunning perennial growing very happily underneath a hellebore leaf.
The curled petals of Tulip Peppermint stick stopped me in my tracks.
Peonies and Alliums are starting to appear, which is always a timely reminder that Chelsea flower show is just a week away. I cannot beleive this will be my 25th year of Chelsea flower gazing.

For the first time ever, I was able to keep records of the development of a new garden on a formerly undeveloped parcel. Every other garden came with established plants and plans that I knew nothing about. I kept perfect records . . . only for someone else to find and discard them without even looking to see what they were!
