Gardening

Tardy starters

SOWING morning glories now is an easy win. Ipomoea, to give them their Latin name, grow quickly, and peak in August, when gardens tend to look tired. They will clamber over shrubs or a wigwam of bamboo canes and distract attention away from any unkempt areas, with their brightly coloured funnel-shaped blooms like fairy lights in a student’s digs

Small but intense

ANY forays we make into gardening, as children, tend to involve sowing seeds, whether scattering mustard and cress on to damp tissue paper, or pressing a sunflower seed into the soil. Mature gardeners may forgo the practice altogether, preferring instead to buy ready-grown specimens and leave the sowing, pricking out, and potting on, to the professionals
