One of the aspects of gardening that I find most enjoyable is its
unpredictable nature. Every year something different happens to take
one by surprise. This spring I am enjoying my best ever show of
Pulmonaria and Solomons Seal. Also after a couple of unsuccessful
attempts to grow Crocosmia from seed (being an old skinflint I don't
believe in getting that stuff in packets but prefer to collect seed
from my garden or those of friends) this time I seem to have got near
100% germination.
