We have lots of lovely foxglove seedlings coming on well....Sutton's Apricot, Pam's Split, Candy Mountain, Summer King and the plain white alba - I can't wait to see them in the spring together with our new biennials for this year - cynoglossum amabile (chinese forget me not) and verbascum phoenicum Antique Rose.
Potted on rooted cuttings of rosemary and dug up my patch of comfrey to move to a more suitable spot.....ended up dividing it into about ten new plants. I've planted them beneath my pears and cherries as I've read that they put down a deep tap root which extracts the rich minerals from deep in the soil and brings them up to feed the fruit trees. You can't have enough comfrey - for mulching -"chop and drop" as they say across the pond (found this on my fave new website - www.permies.com - haven't had time to look at it in detail but there seems to be lots of great advice). Also perfect for making your own comfrey fertiliser - I will be giving a demo on my Wildlife Gardening Course on Saturday 22nd September (plug plug)! Details on our website here !
