Well, it’s coming along. The rain and the warm weather have
seen to that. Strange, the weather we are having though; one minute sunshine,
the next torrential rain. Still as they say: it’s good for the garden. Of
course the slugs and snails aren’t. But the rain and humidity seems to have
made them come along too.
I had planned to make my yard/courtyard garden (take your
pick) shades of pastel mauves, understated pinks, and cool creams this year. Of
course I’d forgotten that it’s shady and that I’m not a pastel kind of guy. It
would have looked cool, but really it needs to be hot. So, much as I wanted to
create an oasis of peaceful calm in soothing colours, I soon found that it
wasn’t really me, nor was it going to work. Soon, the oranges and yellows have
begun to creep in; the sunflowers, daisies, gazanias, and of course, as
predicted, the self- seeded nasturtiums.

DeleteAnother month or so and, with luck and if I can keep on top of the bugs, it will be a beautiful retreat for a week or two.
