Daily details from the garden to bring you inspiration throughout the year
Late planted chard, just getting going in here, the latest bed to be carved out of the grass. I have a soft spot for this bed, because while we’ve been chopping bits out of the lawn here for years now here, it wasn’t until punching through with this aperture – a small, elegantly recurved excision reflecting a much larger bed across the path – that the whole began to make sense. Which is quite another thing from saying the garden feels finished – it’s just that this section now has a little integrity. Which sounds like a lot of waffle – the main thing is, the chard is happy (ignore the bolted bits), and will be enjoying the first year amnesty from slugs and snails that I’ve often observed, and which – to my knowledge – has yet to be much written about.
