Well I have to say I am very pleased with my cutting patch this year. At the beginning of the season I had a little expansion project and got rid of my raised beds and went for a full on growing area. I have still kept a little grass path down the middle, but next year might get rid of this too which will free up a bit more growing space. Everything out there is blooming and as a bit of a dahlia nut I am looking forward to them popping in a week or so’s time hopefully. My dahlias, fingers crossed should be stunning. I purchased them in pots a couple of years ago from Petersham Nurseries {which is an amazing place by the way and if you get a change to go – do!}. The rest of my seeds come from my gardening guru Sarah Raven!
Early Beginnings
Flaming June
The Iris
I am Iris; I am the daughter
Of the marshland and the water.
Looking down, I see the gleam
Of the clear and peaceful stream;
Water-lillies large and fair
With their leaves are floating there;
all the water-world I see,
and my own face smiles at me!
Fruits of my labour!
The Girls
What the heck! After all that garden a girl needs cake!
