Daily details from the garden to bring you inspiration throughout the year
Some creative folk experience the phenomenon of synaesthesia, where the experience of one particular sense bleeds into those of one or more of the others. I’d never be so grandiose to suggest that it’s a condition that affects me – I don’t hear colours, or smell sounds – but I do tend to experience pleasing plant combinations in the garden as stomach-rumble inducing events, and this I put down to thinking almost continually of food. And so just now, there’s a particularly mouthwatering puddingy thing going on in one of the borders, where the deep liquorice leaves of the black elder are complimented by the sharp citrus tang of Geum ‘Totally Tangerine’, with berry tones from the alliums finished off with raspberry coulis and airy whipped cream from the sambucus flowers. And this, I think, must be why I’m always hungry, and thinking of cake.
