Given I began last week’s post to you with a flourish of colours so evocative of this rich time in summer’s season, I thought to begin this week with the polar opposite…a bounty of dried seed heads on the stem, so diverse in shape, detail and character…it’s almost a question of ‘how many shades of brown’?
We have to watch those men who love 'tidying up' Sally! Can't tell you how many peeps over the years complain to me about their wisteria never flowering and we all know why!!! I'm guessing you are about to have a lovely lot of surprises pop up...they make my day and I know they will yours too. Mx
Like you, seed sowing either by hand or letting the plant do it’s own thing is often a wait and see. I picked the first flowers from the parsley knowing there is plenty left on the plants to just let the seeds do their thing, although the other day my husband was going to get into the garden to cut back the Marjoram and Irises and he asked about pulling out some parsley which had many ripe seed heads, so before he started I scattered them all over, now let’s see what happens. The Thyme self seeds everywhere as has the Mint the last couple of years, and lucky me, this year I have a vast number of Cyclamen which have planted themselves in a lovely big patch, I can’t wait for them to flower this year. Thank you for this weeks post.
