jinianAfter chilly rain, clouds with sunbreaks, evening sun on the Dyke March yesterday but cold afterward, FINALLY: today is truly sunny and fine. Mountains in both directions, as is only right, and floral smells wafting all over.
I've decided my fatal flaw as a gardener is that I love order far less than the charming overgrown look, so I find it very difficult to put in any work when things have gotten the way I like them best. Then I come back two weeks later when I have time again, and all is chaos. (Well, the other problem is hay fever, but that's more trial-of-Job than hubris-equivalent; the true flaw is inherent in my personality.) Nonetheless, I am now eating snow peas (yellow and green pods), my rhubarb prospers, and the shiso may be the prettiest thing out there: bronzy leaf-tops with chocolate undersides. Plus, my tiny hydrangea is about to bloom for the first time!
