Wrapped up my two days in St Ives with a quick visit to the Tate. Unfortunately my drawing of the rotunda looks more like a squashed ammonite, but it’s a souvenir of sorts

So my little garden at home is very much overlooked by the former Methodist chapel next door, but I get some good screening from the wisteria foliage and my lovely honeysuckle. They’re both in my garden but climb vigorously through the chapel railings, so we share them!

I usually try to forget my 30-plus years editing magazines, but I have to give a professional nod to whoever came up with this headline for Gardens Illustrated magazine’s feature on white gardens this month. Clever.

Ok, so (he said quietly) I don’t even like tulips, except in containers, because they clutter up the borders just when I’m trying to stock them up with longer-flowering stuff. But I’m quite glad other people plant them! The loudness of the tulips here is nicely toned down by the wallflowers behind. All very jolly.

Another happy, healthy Sambucus ‘Golden Tower’ going in, this time in a garden in Montecute. Definitively one of my go-to shrubs now for height and colour without taking much space - only about 1m spread.
