And whatever the 'taste police' might say, Prof. Hitchmough's research at Sheffield shows that Joe Public prefers a good old drop of colour.<br /><br />*shameless plug alert*<br /><br />I've just posted what must be the ultimate antidote to all that tasteful green and white stuff - a picture of Keith Wiley's garden in Devon. It was dull and raining when we were there in July and it was eye fryingly bright even then :)VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6849167564811493528.post-72477579937596005432010-08-21T07:41:06.642+01:002010-08-21T07:41:06.642+01:00Hurrah!

(Although unlike you, I love August, because my garden is full of orange, reds, yellows and a bit of clashy pinks & blues.)<br /><br />By the way, your rant on the use of the word 'stunning' has now transferred to me - I found myself shouting at the TV when it was used several times in quick succession on a programme about the British countryside this week.HappyMouffetardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09157145094611234176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6849167564811493528.post-76915397214390955322010-08-20T22:16:51.853+01:002010-08-20T22:16:51.853+01:00Bravo, at last someone who makes me feel as though...Bravo, at last someone who makes me feel as though my garden is OK. I have nothing clipped, no statutary, no conservatory, no colour co-ordinated borders. I have plants I love, some I try to love but wont love me back and sometimes they work together but more often I think oh dear better move that next year. I have reds, yellows, pinks, altogether and its exciting (in places) Saying that I live in Malvern so maybe far enough away from the snobbery not to be affected.Helen/patientgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02164036792673009326noreply@blogger.com
