Promise of Spring

Propogation is looking more abundant this year.

With a couple of trestles, an old door and a 'paper potter' my scope has increased on past years.  I've previously had a love affair with tropical planting which sounds lovely in the rain but all gets a bit 'green' after a  while.  Then I was totally into food.  If you couldn't eat it, I wasn't interested. (Those of you that know my husband will understand why).  It was hard work but did at least grab His attention and proved  that it was all worth while.  I even got three raised beds created in order to 'keep things a bit tidier'.

The last couple of years have seen me introducing more flowers, importantly for the bees, but mostly because I adore them.  Especially the big blousy ones, Paeonies, Old Roses, Lilacs, Poppies, the list is endless.  Due to the fact my floral desires are greater than the contents of my bank account I'm going to town on the seeds this year.  I intend to fill my garden with blooms and edibles of all kinds.  There's so much mizzle in a Cornish garden it's hard to feel enthusiastic at times, especially when you look out and see the slugs have just enjoyed the previous evening's planting :(  But here I am enthused and just willing  these seeds to wake up and get growing.  While I'm waiting, later posts will share with you what it is I am growing and the intended changes to the garden.
