Daily details from the garden to bring you inspiration throughout the year
The bull thistle (Cirsium vulgare) that plonked itself into the back of the new bed has run its course though, truth be told, even gone to seed, it still maintains something of the presence for which it was granted leave to stay in such a prime spot. Something of a pest in agriculture, in the garden it’s not too hard to manage, unlike its cousing the creeping thistle that runs underground. With no obvious seedlings having emerged yet, it’s unlikely we’ll have the company of this biennial’s flowers next year, so we’ll have to rely on the cardoons for our thistle fix.
