Daily details from the garden to bring you inspiration throughout the year
The indoor plants are rightly looking nervous, well aware that it’s at this point every year, as spring is faintly to be glimpsed on the horizon, that I get a little careless. Full of self-congratulation at having brought them all safely through another winter, with rather too much swagger and too little attention being paid, things begin to slip. The plants that fare best here in the house are those that can be brought repeatedly to the brink of death and resuscitated with a long drink and a heartfelt apology. Some characters fare less well with a near death experience, and I fear it may be curtains (again) for Pelargonium x ardens after this week’s plummeting temperatures forced me to turn on a nearby radiator that typically remains off all year round, forgetting that this pellie has proved strangely robust in the moderate cold of the open porch I once left it in for week after chilly week, but has an intense dislike of drying out.
