I agree a strong base of perennials eases the stress of growing annuals. In my second year micro-farming I’m focusing on garden aesthetics and focal points such as adding a bench, seating area and arch- all of which will be surrounded by perennials and interspersed with annuals. (I love your photos)
Just starting to enjoy the perennials planted a few years ago. Today we enjoyed a big jug of crabapple blossom - planted for the sole purpose of cutting so felt almost guilt free. And let’s give a mention to the changes outside in the last few weeks - it’s still grey skies up north but looking very jolly and beautiful at ground level. And the cardoons bought as tiny plants as pot toppers - then dumped into a veg bed that are now enormous - and no effort involved x and enjoying this bliss before the weeds become huge x
Your floral creativity! Just seeing those last few photos makes me want to make button holes, wreaths and table settings (inviting table in your high tunnel). 😍

Do paper whites come back next year? I w read conflicting answers on this and wasn’t sure whether to keep or not 💛

Brilliant thanks Anna
And I was wondering the best way to store my bulbs so I'll put them in bags now then x
