Winter finds me spending considerable time deliberating over how I will transform my garden for summer. The heady scent of damp compost and freshly germinated seedlings will shortly be filling the greenhouse. I can hardly contain my excitement.
Anemanthele lessoniana (in the background) continues to self seed freely through our garden. My big idea for this year is for all my new seed grown plants to sit in containers between the clumps of this grass. I cannot wait to see my 2018 seed raised honka dahlias emerging through the burn’t orange tinted foliage this coming late summer. l
Molina Transparent and giant fennel plants are shortly to be acquired. They will definitely provide height and structural definition to my garden.
I am still working on finalising my must have list. Fiona likes to help out, using her long pointy greyhound nose to show me her favourites. In all honesty I would like to grow the lot !
p.s my next blog will be my definitve list, and why they made it onto it.
