How lovely it looks Jack I like the plants in the paving. I have been leaving my “lawns” front and back from May until later in the year, and this year have buttercups self heal with red campion and oxeye homegrown plants and am loving it.

That sounds like a lot of fun! It’s exciting when the wildflowers take because you know they will get stronger and multiply with each year 💞

Love the different yellows Jack; we get a lot of customers saying they don't like yellow (except daffodils, of course), so I am going to show them how much it can add in spring. Thanks :-)

It’s funny with yellow, I’m not sure why it’s so disliked. There’s probably a whole study to be done.

Looks amazing! Our small front is paved and gravelled and I tend to cultivate in pots. The stone slabs have ‘weeds’ moss and wild flowers, which I don’t mind, but my husband thinks is an ‘eyesore’.

Ha yes people either like this kind of thing or can’t see past ‘the mess’. I do get it, but I think it’s good to appreciate either really 😄

deeply invested, in this, Jack! I’m planning a herb / substrate bed up near the house as a dining / sitting area with scented and edible plants popping up to join the party. Love the sound of that white rosemary. I’ve been somewhat forced into loving orange in our new garden; sounds like I should be sending some things up your way for your lovely rust-themed planting x

Ooh yes please to rust-themed things! That all sounds perfect as a seating area. The white flowered rosemary is really good and would do well where you are. On my old Croydon allotment I had a white flowered sage which I liked too, though I think that was a bit harder to come by.
