Tidbits

Nursery visit to Aberconwy Alpines today, to populate a raised sloping bed we’ve made with free draining soil and a thick mulch of limestone chippings. We snagged the last Hedgehog Brooms they had, one of my favourite alpine plants that looks like a tightly clipped Gorse with purple flowers. Oh and the planting is at my Ma and Pa’s house hence the shot with my Mum.

Visit today to Ian Sturrock’s ramshackle nursery. He is an apple wizard and has discovered or saved many local apple, pear and plum varieties. Most famous is his Bardsey Apple, a chance seedling that clung against a wind-blasted wall on Bardsey island aka Ynys Enlli, and produces wonderfully citrus-flavoured dessert apples in the harshest conditions.

Notting Hill. Full on jungle with none of the usual suspects. There are two benches mirroring each other, one in full sun and the other in the sunken garden under a copse of Heptacodium and Idesia. Two specimen Feijoa in pots on the terrace.
This garden happens to be 3 doors down from where I started out my horticultural career maintaining Charles Jencks’ garden in 2006 #squaringthecircle

Wonderful 6-page article in @gardens_illustrated this month of one of our Peckham gardens. Thank you @natasha_goodfellow for the excellent write-up!

Best way to recover from flu? February swim with my 7-month pregnant better half. ‘Twas bloody freezing mind!

Deck details in our garden. The concrete was cast in layers using various dyes/aggregates to give a textural finish. This helps tie it in to the bedrock that juts indiscriminately around.
