Well I don't know about you but I've just decided this blog is getting pretty boring, so here is a list of my favourite and least favourite things. These are the vaguely garden-related ones, at least!
Thumbs up to:
Hawthorns, wrought iron, bonfires, elderflowers, weather, hedgerowing with a basket, watching flocks of birds flying, cow parsley (outside the garden), foliage, structure and volume, lying in a hammock, birdsong esp blackbirds', robins, peonies, early hybrid tea roses, single-flowered roses, wild roses..
Thumbs down to:
Orange roses, gladioli, ceanothus, garden centres (wiht a few special exceptions), plants bred to be all flowers and no leaves.
I'd be interested to know other people's?
With very little gardening knowledge ...
ReplyDeleteLikes: Roses that smell like roses, lavender, fennel, cornflowers, irises, rosemary, oak trees, the smell of wet grass, forget-me-nots, violets,
Dislikes: the fact that all my mint dies, geraniums, begonias, slugs
We used to have some lovely irises but they died, I think they found the soil too wet. :( - and the trick with mint is to have it growing where you don't want it!
