Just been doing a last minute tidy of our garden. We try to grow a variety of plants, colourful and varied – sometimes we succeed and sometimes we fail. So we have reached the conclusion that no matter what soil improvers, mulches, fertilisers and feed we give the garden, nor how much personal care and attention they receive….it is the plants that want to grow that grow. The others disappear into the ground never to be seen again. In other words ‘they select us’
Weeds of course just thrive, much to the benefit of birds and wildlife….and we add to that hospitality for the birds by regularly feeding them throughout the year.
It is probably precisely that which has resulted in the start of a healthy crop of wheat appearing amongst the flowers….and no doubt just like the weeds they WILL SURVIVE! (but not enough for a loaf I fear)
