Where the Wild Things Grow

A gift from a friendly neighbour of geum, Mrs Bradshaw and 2 healthy allotment cukes to replace our woefully withered Agnes plants (what did we do wrong?), thank goodness for greenfingered friends :)

Walthamstow Wild Cat in the clover (trifolium 'Dragon's Blood').

Our pet weed - Plantago major. We've refrained from weeding out this fine specimen of a Greater Plantain because it has all the qualities of a Dürer watercolour.

The lychnis coronaria alba next to the insect hotel is out in flower.

Now that we've got a little more sunlight into the garden we've been able to start experimenting with plants, this green and peaceful spot is planted with Artic Summer Mullein (verbascum bombyciferum), Cow Parsley (anthriscus sylvestris 'ravenswing'), bronze fennel, ligularia przewalskii 'Golden Ray', sweet woodruff.
