Decided today that I must be more disciplined about my planting - mainly with regard to colour schemes. There really isn't space to do all I want here so I shall try and learn from this year's wild enthusiasm for dahlias and limit myself a bit. Still, it has been a greatly enjoyable experiment. I think I will try and keep the rose and herb area to a colour palate similar to that in this shot of sweet pea Matucana which has suddenly come on really well in the past week. I wonder if it was responding to the tomerite I gave it last weekend? Will have to experiment. Anyway, this palate with a slightly deeeper orange than Noordwijk's Glory (which is such a pretty shape). Maybe see what Sarah Raven recommends....
Had to water the garden today as it is so dry. Also planted up some grow bags in the greenhouse with a small quantity of lambs lettuce, corn salad, land cress and cilantro (leaf coriander). Hopefully they will get going before the days shorten too much and give me a bit of winter greenery. Also having another go at growing Lilium Formosanum and Tropaeolum Speciosum from seed - also planted today.
Picked up quite a few more nuts and shelled and toasted them. This was a very bad idea as I have eaten a LOT!
