We have a fairly large amount of garden on this coal-yard site, much of it almost un-gardenable in the usual sense. Nowhere more so than the new embankment which runs along the back of the rear extension. It is steep, has almost no topsoil and is almost hidden from view, at least from the public side of the site.
Our new policy of 'Let's see what wants to grow there and encourage it' is paying off handsomely - with dandelions:
Handsome flowers but with the reputation of weeds.
For that embankment though, dandelions it is and they are responding splendidly, firstly with their flowers of course but then with their seed heads:
Any 'proper' gardener regards these at the enemy but we shall leave these to do their own thing and see what happens.
