Under Dead Wood

After posting up Debby H‘s cosmos update we’d thought we’d check on our own seeds we sowed a good few weeks ago. We also added a couple of seedlings we had in a tray beside them so hopefully this’ll turn into a cosmos corner if all goes well and the damn slugs don’t have their way. They’re all under a (very deadish) cherry tree but they will get sunlight most of the day and we will be on hand with the watering can.

And for the past few months a good few love in a mist plants have sprouted up at the bottom of the garden by the rosemary bush we moved a few years ago. We’re not sure if it’s self seeded or if it was the result of one of our anarchic seed sowing experiments. Who cares as long as the flowers look good!

Here’s to the return of the sunshine next week. Enjoy the bank holiday!

 

 

Flowers at the end of May

Thanks for Debby H for getting in touch again and sending an update. She has just sent us a picture of her Zephyranthes Robusta and said “Each year, I store the bulbs in the garage over the winter. In late spring I bring them out and they grow again. Isn’t nature wonderful!” It really is Debby!
And what is fantastic is she has attached a picture of the first flower on one of her cosmos plants. How wonderful is that for May? Cheers Debby!
