I dug this new border the winter before last. Here are the changing seasons. I am looking forward to the shrubs and magnolia tree getting bigger so I don’t have to rely so much on the perennials which are harder work. This year in May there were many self-seeded foxgloves, which were lovely, but took a lot of removing once they were over and left the bed looking rather empty and bedraggled. As the border gets more mature I hope to avoid these ‘flashes in the pan’ and have border that works better all year ’round.
