Daily details from the garden to bring you inspiration throughout the year
Some scrabbles are permissible, in the garden at least. I wrote on Day 3 of the bramble inveigling it’s way into the branches of a viburnum (incidentally discovering the next morning, and with quite a shock, that the account given of its removal had been entirely imaginary, as it hung there still with what I took to be rather a triumphant glint about its prickles), but there are occasions when we deliberately send a climber clambering up into a tree, or when we discover serendipitous results arising out of the over-exuberance of this or that. For me, an example of the latter is the boisterous dog rose lolloping in and over the pheasant berry (Leycesteria formosa), particularly in the dead of winter with the brilliant red hips of the one rubbing along with the fading plum-coloured pagodas of the other. Unplanned, slightly chaotic. Pleasing.
