It's a real year of the poppies at Douentza. I have so much poppy seed in my compost that they have spread everywhere around the garden. When weeding, if a poppy has appeared in a gap then I leave it and I just love the surprise of seeing what colour it will be!

I'm getting great help in the garden this year from Kaisa, who was busy tying lilies to supports in the photo. So great to get that job done before the lilies desperately need support. Thank you, Kaisa.

Today's YouTube video is one that I've been meaning to make for a long time and thank you to Kaisa for encouraging me to finally do so. This video shows how to create perfect lawn edges AND how to maintain them so that you don't have to recut them every year. The video link is in the comments below and on my YouTube channel, Gardening at Douentza. Have a great Sunday!

I've had difficulty propagating my protea - cuttings that never rot but also never grow roots. So I'm trying again with the X Stream hydro propagator, which purportedly gives results when other propagation methods fail. Wish me luck!
