So, there are people in my life who say I’m big-headed enough, and that folk neither need nor want me stomping around (and over) their plantings and whatever else telling them what’s what. So this reading this may not be good for my moral fibre. Even if it is, of course, true.
I think these photos are cool, and I dig that Supreme Sultan guy (he kind of feeds into my take on life). And so what if the colours aren’t quite what you intended, isn’t that part and parcel of the joy of gardening…getting it a bit wrong to get it a bit more right next time? It’s a creative scene, after all, man.
Err… rereading this for plant combinations, and this here seems like an unusual comment Anne? It takes me at least a week to reply to Substack comments - would be beyond surprised if anyone called me up for not replying within what looks like 1 hour 6 minutes (!) given we have offline lives.
(Even my mother gives me 48 hours on what’s app before phoning the police/my husband for my lack of communication.)
I thought I was talking to @horticulturalish. I think she might rather I shut up - based on a few non encounters. So I'm more looking to stop being a pain than being impatient.
Good to see she has such good sticking up for her friends!
Love this! Reminds me of the foraged allium butter with chicken of the woods mushroom recipe I made inspired from my Appalachian Trail thru hike. check it out:
These soft oranges are lovely! I did look up how to grow irises inspired by your enthusiasm, but the whole dividing clumps thing sounded like a little too much work for moi 😬
Hey mate

And that saxifraga variegata is trippy.
That Verbascum pink petticoats is incredible - and in a North facing border!!!
So stunning 😍😍😍
What a lovely garden you have made! 😍
I'm begining to think you don't want conversation? Shall i shut up now?

(I’ll give it a week, then)

I think it’s really, really lovely. Those peaches and terracottas are beautiful with the brick.

Absolutely lovely 😍
Verbascums are sublime. They look fabulous.
What was Nicholas Sutro right about? (link didn't work)
He was very unkeen on the colour scheme - an entertaining exchange of views. As Moira says below, they work beautifully with the brick.
