Today I have been planting out white foxgloves in the shade of the walnut tree. Being biennials the theory is you grow new ones each year to flower the following year. The practice being you forget til it’s too late or your lovely husband lets the first lot of seedlings burn to a crisp in the ‘canicule’. No matter, a second batch was sown and has been nursed through the heat and planted out today.
I love these kind of jobs. All kinds of propagation I get a real kick out of – something about the nurturing and creating life, as well as the abundance of plants you can get for not much or no money all appeals to me.
Plus, white foxgloves, man. I love them. Here are this year’s lightening the shade. Bobby dazzlers as my darling would say.
