>Thanks to staudesalg.dk – a website dedicated to selling perennials and seeds thereof – I am now in possession of a quite ludicrous amount of seeds for flowers that will not blossom ’till next year at best.
Lupins, delphiniums, columbines, bind-weed, dahlias, sweet peas and all sorts of lovely plants. (And some sunflowers, just because they make me smile.)
The danger of ordering seeds online is – as with any online-shopping – that one (that would be I) has a tendency to over-do it “a little”. Some of the seeds ought to have been sown in May, but obviously we only just got the keys to the house, so I’m hoping that my tardiness matches the cold spring we’ve had this year and that the seeds will find the timing just right. However, as I want to get the seeds into the ground this weekend AND have to clear the ground for them first, I’m guessing I’m pretty much setting myself up for a mad, rushed weekend of hard work and little rest.
Also, I would really like to create a classic herbaceous border in the English country-garden style, but this would require more planning than I feel capable of at the moment, so I’m just going to make a first attempt and hope that the plants will be possible to move in a few years when I’m – hopefully – somewhat more knowledgeable about creating harmonious, yet unrestrained borders.
I guess that’s my one agony; that I know enough about gardening from my parents’ and grandparents’ gardens to know exactly how much I DON’T know.
