Scarlets Cut Flower Patch 2022/23/24

   
            I've not updated this as much as I've wanted to, was was away for a few days then, I had relatives here from France, then a friend for nearly a fortnight as she is recovering from a major op... But I still managed to get the flowers out, just not got as much planted in as I would like. The heat is not my Friend either / so no gardening the last couple of days.

WhT I'm picking at the moment. There's an odd ranunculus or anemone - but really they have finished, sweet rocket is finished, I could have used buckets of this. Lychnis, and salvia caradonna and nepeta are all fab as fillers. The nepeta has been nearly all picked. Knautia- several colours give a little ping. I've cut a few lupins, snapdragons have kicked in as have the larkspur. Sweet williams haven't been brilliant - but I have had a reasonable amount to cut. Stems are short. I've used the odd poppy seed head and also album seed heads. Lavatera is pretty amazing, perennial giant scabious - just few but are quite special.
Hoping to sow biennials tomorrow- started some today.
