No wonder the British are obsessed with the weather; last month was officially the wettest June since rainfall records began in 1910. But as Sir Rannulph Fiennes said, ‘there is no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing,’ and I’m afraid we gardeners just have to agree; we never know what to expect, and we just get on with it.......
My favourite colour combinations this year are
purple mauves mixed with the purest of greens. This year I've grown beautiful purple podded peas, vibrant fresh parsley, exotic fast growing kohlrabi, and purple veined brassicas. And what could be more romantic than stepover
apples, interplanted with lavender, carpets of fragrant thyme, and soothing spreading sage, easily
achieved within a border only 2’ wide. Absolutely perfect for edging paths
or lawns, productive and pretty, what more could anyone want?
