An area of extreme tangle… there’s a path in there somewhere! This is one of the areas that feels like it should feel at the summer solstice today. I can’t quite believe we’re at this point in the year when the season we’ve had means most annuals are so far behind.
Yet more reinforcement of how crucial resilient planting is. This wet mild endless spring and the droughts of previous years have really shown what thrives in this particular garden. Perennials, roses, biennials and direct-seeded (slug resistant) hardy annuals like this Nigella are where it’s at here. I think I’m ready to forgo dahlias forever after this year’s slug-ravaged, gall-ridden, slow growing disappointment!
