My motto ‘never say never’ might make it difficult to tell people my motto (jokes!) but it does come in handy for planting in the height of summer. When the July sun (we hope) beats down, the red soil in my garden resembles the hard, dry surface of Mars and for unestablished plants it’s almost as inhospitable. But there is one place that’s even worse… ‘death row’ aka the step outside the greenhouse/kitchen door.
Whether bought at a plant fair, gifted from a friend or the result of a daring rescue mission from the bargain supermarket trolley, you’re not aloneto find just the right spot, not to mention clearing weeds or pruning the existing border residents to make legroom.
