September 24, 2010 | Get that goatSeptember 21, 2010 | Ambassador of autumn Just when you had had it with green, autumn brings on the other colours. Senescence or the ageing process in a plant exposes the pigments that cohabit with the dominant green chlorophyll. The big leaves of the ornamental vine Vitis cognetiae show it clearly, shattering into yellowred mosaic. The other candidates for dramatic change are [...] September 19, 2010 | Playing with scale There is a walk round here that I go on nearly every day. The landscape is pretty spacious and empty. We are in Suffolk which is the county of the large skies. It is what you get with flat ground. London is not much over an hour away by train but this is the empty quarter. [...] September 17, 2010 | Pattern of the DAY Eighteenth century looking glass with embedded lenses. Like it?

I have never been to Avon Bulbs in person. Once a year in autumn, a parcel arrives with contents looking like an upmarket take-away. Whispery paper bags with a twist and drizzle of shredded paper. Inside, the new bulbs, salivated over previously on their stand at Chelsea. Or in the Avon Bulbs catalogue. The owner, [...] September 13, 2010 | Soil rescue in the vegetable patch Our vegetable harvest has been pretty much a complete flop. We have giant pale marrows. Watery and with skins like toenails. Tomatoes tasting of fish and who wants new potatoes in September? All due to inattention to sowing times and now, nothing to look forward to but maudlin runner beans and leeks this winter. It’s [...] September 9, 2010 | Plantaholic Post Sanguisorba officinalis Arnhem is tall and see-through so that you can peer out from behind a clump as if looking through a gauzy curtain. It likes difficult clay soils and spreads surely but not in a thuggish manner. It doesn’t need staking and adds colour through late summer into autumn with blood red [...] September 7, 2010 | Weeds that deceive by lovely looks Neither a slate platter of sushi or a weed salad. I had spent half a day in the vegetable plot. To get the better of those just-too-large-to-hoe weed seedlings. After what seemed like a whole embroidery lesson of concentration, I knew them intimately. And began to hate them for their tenacity. Time to take their mug shots [...] September 5, 2010 | Pattern of the DAY The lovely phyllotaxy of the nettle. Leaves are arranged in opposite pairs to catch maximum sunlight. Like it?
