Spring is here, and so marks the re-emergence of vast amounts of ground elder, which is flourishing quite merrily in several of the gardens in my care. This year I happened to find in the Sarah Raven catalogue Tagetes minuata. I am placing a great deal of hope on my recently germinated seedlings. On this occasion flowering aesthetics are not a priority, even the packet describes it as not a looker. I am hoping for the eradication of those pernicious weeds that are the bain of my gardening life.
Phenomenal gardening weather at the moment, gardens are also flourishing,ponding and fronding.
I took a visit to the hairdressers last week and seemed to spend the entire time apologizing. I felt the need to inform them that as a gardener my hair was likely to be full of soil, twigs and other garden debris.
My newly cut hair feels clean,shiny and twig free and slightly shorter.
