From Sunflowers to Potatoes…
Just when I thought we would not see any, I have noted two flowering chrysanthemums and two more in bud. Not a great deal when I think of all the seed I put in, but they are here in the end all the same!
The seeds that were planted a little bit late (see http://sunflowers.moleville.co.uk/more-seeds-too-late/) have had semi success. They took a long time to do anything, and the cats didn’t help too. This means that the Canterbury Bell, Larkspur, and Chrysanthemum have not been seen - or if they have they failed to flower which I suppose is not unlikely. The Viscaria and Candytuft have done better, started off with lots of leave but now has flowers and is making quite a nice simple country wood type feel, especially under the shade of the tree.
Only just in time, we shall see what happens. I have put netting in top to stop the cat digging. See how things are in 30 days or so….
It is beginning of June, I am leaving it all a bit late if I want to sow any more flower seeds, but I thought I would have a go anyway. It is only just June after all…. This is all for one of the beds in the back garden which I was going to leave bare all summer but thought actually there is no excuse for such lazyness and so off I went.
I have plants of different heights, including Canterbury Bell, Larkspur, Chrysanthemum, Viscaria, and Candytuft. This should all bring us a nice cottage garden feel. Tonight I prepared the bed, tomorrow night I will sow some seeds…
