Day 54: messy but marvellous

Daily details from the garden to bring you inspiration throughout the year

I have a theory that, when it comes to bitty looking borders, it’s early spring bulbs that have the potential to contribute the greatest degree of uncoordinated visual noise to the garden. It’s not the ones for which you’ve poured over catalogues in autumn and planted in a carefully planned display. Rather, it’s that phenomenon that occurs should you find yourself pathologically unable to bin the bulbs after the container display for which you originally acquired them is over; when, rather than consigning them to the green bin, you stick them in the nearest free patch of flowerbed, resulting in a crazed rainbow yawn of muscari and miniature daffs, hyacinths and fritillaries. I’ve always been a little ruthless when container bulbs are done, but having just stumbled over a small patch of Tête-à-tête narcissus I must have bunged into the ground last year, I can feel the jollity beginning to seep into my bones.
