Day 258: Cosmos

Daily details from the garden to bring you inspiration throughout the year

The garden’s beginning to take on the tired, satisfied air of one who’s run a hard race and now feels entirely deserving of a stretch, a rest, and a slap up fish supper, and though the overriding feeling at the end of this indifferent summer is of a lush, green wave breaking over the beds and borders, there’s still colour from the late flowers. The cosmos, ever keen, will continue to crank out blooms for weeks yet, even though my deadheading clearly leaves much to be desired. There’s food for the bees yet, pollen dusted messily across rich hued petals testifying to recent visits from eager pollinators. I think we can keep them fed a while longer.
