Thank you Elliott for another brilliant read. My garden is struggling in this heat, I don't have enough plants to cover all of the soil. I've tried to remedy that this year, only having a limited budget, I'm still woefully short!
I went Hampton Court Palace Flower Festival yesterday, and if course couldn't resist buying half a dozen, including a couple of new hostas. I picked up some ideas, as one always does!
There us one of your grasses on the terrace which I really like, it's a short, but you gave so many, you won't have the foggiest what I am on about!
I'm now off to dig up self seeders and replant in bare soil. Thank you once again Elliott, your posts sre inspiring and informative.
Thank you Helen. That's very kind. So glad you enjoyed it. I think almost everyone's gardens are struggling this year (my veg garden is a dust bowl). The early warmth produced lush growth, that the lack of rain could not sustain. So flowers are fading quickly. Leaves are browning. So don't be hard yourself. I think the grass you mentioned is the Hakonechloa macro - Japanese forest grass. Think I answered in Instagram too. My best recommendation for bare soil is to cover it with a thick mulch. If you can do that after the rains in autumn, it will set your border up for more resilience next season.

Good morning Elliott,
Thank you for a thoroughly enjoyable read with my morning cuppa. The new addition to the garden is wonderful.
Happy gardening.
Thank you so much Tricia. That’s very kind of you.
