Lol...must be bee friendly ones as I swear that particular model has been vibrating all day! Perhaps next year I can upgrade the chips to be big and tall!🤣🤣
Marne la vallée, basically just outside Paris 🇫🇷, but definitely Scottish at heart.
So this part of my garden is far less tended than anything else appearing on this thread. I've let it grow wild. You can see it's full of creeping buttercup, but have also sowed ragged robin and planted primula denticulata and has a some ribwort plantain. Pond in the background with alcemilla molis and hostas planted round it. Also got a fair bit of willowherb and rushes (recently topped) in the foreground.
This is a raised bed by the front door. Veronica spicata in the centre, Dianthus deltoides (maiden pinks) to the right with white and pink Dianthus superbus to the fore and rear, backed by a Myrtus communis subsp. tarentina. It smells fantastic but only the delivery and postal workers are getting to appreciate it of course!
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
Interesting with the foxgloves. I only do the wild ones, letting them self-seed and moving seedlings as needed. Last year, I only had normal wild ones and maybe, just maybe, one hybrid (pink/purple but flowers facing up). This year, I have the usual wild ones (flowers facing down), some hybrids of the same colour with the flowers facing up and three or four pure whites. I am not sure if the came from elsewhere or if it is a result of the genetic lottery.
Probably the only part of the garden I can take a picture of without seeing the rest of the mess! I started a bit late this year sowing seeds but taking it as a learning experience!
