On the face of it there hasn’t been much to celebrate recently. For quite a while now. Most of the reasons, and there have been a fair few, have been, and are continuing to be, well documented. Too many commas? Perhaps. In our little corner, just to add some spice to the mix, we haveContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Celebration”

Blue for You
Ipheion uniflorum ‘Rolf Fiedler’
Joy
One of many moments of joy today.
My Delight
Many years ago the only tomatoes grown at Cliffe were Gardener’s Delight. When I took over I rebelled (I know a surprise) and we extended our range significantly. But still we grew Gardener’s Delight. Because they are delicious. Yesterday at Nancy Nightingale’s I sowed seed whilst she hacked back.

Some of his discoveries were being displayed in an exhibition, he had been invited to the opening night and I was his Plus One. OfContinue reading “Three Tales”
Too Soon?
A very enjoyable day at The Mantle’s. Apple tree and rose pruning. Spanish bluebell extraction (and to think we got rid of every single one last year). Cheese on toast and slab cake. Omphalodes and hellebores. Magic waterproofs that worked once more. Waterlilies and a truck load of frog spawn that you can just aboutContinue reading “Too Soon?”
