Just off on Saturday to an eco-dyeing course with Claire Cawte and Mandy Nash in Llantrisant Region 12 IFA - gathering leaves and bark in readiness for gorgeous alchemy. Suddenly the leaves are turning and there is a chill in the garden. The aeonium came in from the cold last night - I am not repeating the disgusting squidginess of last years disaster after the first frosts.
On the plus side we are just about to order tulips - a great buddy is having her wedding reception in our field next year - so I am trying to time the tulip and blossom display! Challenging as peak cherry blossom time can stretch between three weeks as it did this year. I am hoping that underplanting a new hedge of amelanchier's with vibrant tulips will do the trick!
