Daily details from the garden to bring you inspiration throughout the year
Someone could live here. Days are drawing out, and thoughts inevitably turn to spring, I can I feel the urge to get involved with the wintery detritus – not so much tidying up the garden, as floofing individual plants. It's a very gentlemanly eighteenth-century notion, this confidence that we can improve upon nature.
Cutting away rotting foliage from the February wreckage of herbaceous perennials is a good move, cos slugs. But.. oh.. these bits here; it'll only take a second. I've snipped away two or three hollowed out stems from the lupins before I realise they make idea winter dormitories for some diminutive garden resident, and I'm almost certainly in the literal process of wrecking homes. So much for my improvements.
I wonder if I still have the receipt for that periwig?
