Plant of the Day

Thursday 21 November 2024

Till the first frosts of winter Pelargonium 'Mauve Beauty' (ivy-leaved geranium) will keep flowering. These plants are ideal for summer containers in full sun when filled with a well-drained compost. Shortening the long stems can promote branching and limit the spread of the plant.

Perennial's forsaken

I actually started this drawing back when figure changed playbooks, but it really wasn't working. At the time I was trying to make the galaxy out of Russian sage too, and it just didn't look right. Anyway after the most recent ep I realised I could do the galaxy as stars, and finally finish this off. And now I'm pretty happy with it!

The Russian sage colours are referenced from a photo I took of the bush growing in my front garden. It was there when we bought the house, and it always felt like a pleasing coincidence. If I ever get a Russian sage/perennial tattoo, it'll probably look something like this. It's still an if because it takes me ages to decide on things, but whether or not I do, it's certainly the case that I will never be normal about perennial again.

Oakland's Radical Plant Nursery Breaks the Prison Cycle

Permaculture instructor Andrew Millison journeys to East Oakland, California, to visit the legendary plant nursery Planting Justice, which primarily hires formerly incarcerated people. They provide a fair wage and benefits to former prisoners with unbelievable results: a 2% recidivism rate, compared to 60% for the State of California. The nursery itself has an incredible diversity of edible and useful plant species and varieties, custom selected to grow an epic permaculture garden.

The sparkling white flowers of Nerine bowdenii ‘Alba’  (Bowden lily, Cornish lily, Cape flower, Guernsey lily) bloom before the leaves appear. This is a frost hardy perennial that thrives on a well-drained soil in a sunny location. This bulb is a native of South Africa.

If I picked a lucky penny up and asked you to marry me for my money would you say something that would make me leave this party blushing so hard the sun would rise at 2 a.m.?

I didn't think you had any time for gods, Pickman.

I have a soft spot for the Lady of the Broken Wheel. People used to pray to her on the train.

Hoping she'd save them, I suppose. Did it ever work?

No. That's her point. If you want to see the wheel broken, you have to do it yourself.
