Chelsea Inspired

Well the sun's out, I've been watching the Chelsea Flower Show all week and also got some inspiration from Grows on You.  Hence a further bit of planting has taken place.  This is Golden Marjoram, which has been suggested to me as another beneficial herb for butterflies and bees.  It adds to the other herbs to make a slightly bigger herb section.

Alongside this I have planted some cornflower seeds.  Nothing to see there as yet, but hopefully a lovely bright blue flower to attract insects of all types.

My most optimistic bit of planting is a buddleia.

This has been suggested by one of our guests and somebody on Grows on You.  It seems to be fairly hardy to coastal weather and wind, also it appears to be able to grow out of walls and other strange places so hopefully a large tub in sunlight will be OK.

Fingers crossed!
