Gardening to someone who is absolutely not interested can be like torture, we would find this hard to comprehend. Personally, I feel like this when it comes to washing my car.
Three weeks ago on a glorious warm morning I decided to wash the car in my front drive, I was converted, no more driving through the car wash. Something that I had been doing for the last thirty years on a weekly basis. No more wasting money, no more laziness, I would do this every week from now on, wash the car that is.
Well that was three weeks ago, honest I was definitely going to do it today, but the hedge in the west border had to be cut, the front grass was a bit long, and I just had to remove that bamboo in the round garden which Myra felt was out of place in the position that it was planted.
Now I am not lazy, I will wash the car tomorrow, but come to think of it, the cold days will soon be here, who in there right mind would wash a car in temperature less than ten degrees.
To continue Perennial plants at their best late summer and autumn, here is another beauty, Aster Fricartii Monch. Comes into flower a little earlier than a lot of the Asters. This one is a beautiful pale blue, masses of individual flowers two inches across. Doesn’t like to be crowded out. Plant three together for more impact.
