Daily details from the garden to bring you inspiration throughout the year
Two words in the horticultural lexicon receive short shrift when transferred into everyday parlance. One is the word ‘weedy’, used by muggles to describe something thin, week and spindly, but by gardeners to refer to something virile and likely to take over if not kept in check. The other is ‘seedy’, generally accepted to refer to something unwholesome or disreputable, though in the garden, denoting the culmination of a plant’s purpose, the production of parcels of genetic information to preserve a legacy. It’s all getting a bit seedy out here just now, ripened flowerheads of alliums jostling with lavender and linaria, all rattling with seed, all full of the promise of things to come. Really, it’s quite scandalous.
