The Witch’s Cauldron

It’s flourishing this year, thanks for my wife’s choice of filling it to the brim with red chrysanthemums :)

I went a bit crazy with chrysanthemums this year as I filled in a complete border with about 40 mumms of pink, red and white. I edged the approximately 4 meter border with 50 lobelias and added red dianthus at one end. I’m sure that if they all take – and as of this morning they’re looking that they are – the border will look quite nice.

Have you started your season’s planting yet? What’s your garden looking like? Would love to know.
