And… just in time to save us from the why-does-it-feel-like-winter-when-it’s-supposed-to-be-summer blues… itโs the DELIGHTFUL DAHLIAS! Vic the Garden took these pics, arenโt they amazing?
And itโs just as well that the dahlias are adding some much needed glamour at the moment, as the wind blew over a couple of my bean teepees and it feels like everythingโs in a bit of disarrayโฆ.
But itโs time to order spring bulbs – always my favourite job of the year! And so I start plotting away again, planning my bulb lasagnes for the dolly tubs around the farmyard and oak tubs that live up around the factory.
Two layers of tulips on the bottom, with a layer of early crocuses on the top, I think – pinks and whites for the factories like so:
And hotter colours for the farmyard:
Yum! What could be more optimistic than planning for another year – THIS time itโs bound to work! (*she says, muttering away under her breath and crossing her fingersโฆ)
Wishing you strong bean supports and gentle breezes!
Hugs from the garden,
