Sometimes unexpected things pop up in the flower beds, I’m loving this unusual deep rose variety of coreopsis. It’s not one I sowed nor is there a coreopsis like it available from seed, so it’s a cross that’s snuck into the other seed packets of coreopsis that I did sow. I’m going to try and harvest seed but as coreopsis cross with one another fairly easily that means putting a wee bag on the buds to isolate them and then hand pollinating, not something I’ve done before, so wish me luck! 😀

Salpiglossis, very very pretty, first time growing and not sure I can call it a success 😀 as lost most of the seedlings on planting out, not sure why. But definitely worth trying again, anyone grown them and got any tips?

I woke up early and spent a good while reading the news, and following threads about climate breakdown pollinator collapse, drought, floods, wild fires, famine, monkey pox … I felt a sense of panic and despair even before I got out of bed. People often tell me it’s best not to look, I find that hard to do, when will we look if not now? At the same time it’s important not to just get trapped in the despair, my partner says “look but don’t stare” and that feels like good advice. So I got up and went to the garden to do a few early jobs and my spirits were lifted by watching the insects on the burdock. I planted this, sowed it from seed, after I had done so I went through a phase of thinking the novice gardener in me had made a big mistake, most people talk about how to eradicate burdock not grow it 😆 But here’s the thing, it’s an edible plant, an important edible in some parts of the world, it’s also got medicinal properties, it’s an amazing compost plant - yeah, move over comfrey - and I also use it’s big leaves direct on the soil as a kind of plant alternative to w**d membrane. And the insects adore it. I usually remove the seed heads before they self sow everywhere but some always do, for all the fears about burdock it’s actually really easy to remove at early seedling stage if you don’t want more plants. Letting the wild plants in … we are going to have to do that … we need to unlearn so much of what we have been taught to think and feel about gardening. Burdock won’t save the planet, but it’s my tiny tiny tiny pebble of action in the giant ocean of global crisis for today, it’s not enough, it’s never going to be enough, but it is still something, and it’s better to do something than to sit and stare. Which is why it lifted my spirits … let's all throw some pebbles today xx
