No Words of Wisdom on Landscaping, Just a Funny Old Week.

Jill thinks I have an addictive personality. That is not the case where people become addicted to my personality but I become addicted to the things I do. She also says it runs in my family. I have to agree, my family are slightly mad, lovely, but not quite normal in my eyes. My father became addicted to running at the age of 60 and it would be quicker to say what my elder sister hasn’t become addicted to. And I realise I have just become addicted to using the word addicted. Now I have cured my… Continue

Fritillaria meleagris

We planted 5,000 snakeshead fritillaries last autumn as part of a rural garden design in the Saffron Walden area. As with all bulb planting, it's one of the few garden jobs that you see no difference in at all until they start coming up months later. The success rate was high and we were eagerly anticipating their beautiful chequer-board flowers this Spring when the leaves started to poke through earlier in March. Horrors!! Without exception all the flower heads have been eaten or broken off! Is… Continue
