Nerine discovery

There's not a lot by way of exciting plants in my new garden, but I did thrill at the sight of a patch of the lovely autumn bulb Nerine bowdenii which have come up in one of the raised beds, partially covered by a rather rampant rosemary (try saying that after a few pints).

I've not grown these before but they're fairly straightforward provided you don't bury the bulbs too deep. There's a good piece from the Telegraph last year if you want to find out more.

My Photo

Bette Midler on gardening:


  • "My whole life had been spent waiting for an epiphany, a manifestation of God's presence, the kind of transcendent, magical experience that lets you see your place in the big picture. And that is what I had with my first compost heap."
