My world shrinks. Slims down post-surgery. My plant planet reduced. For now. I knew it was coming. The signs were there. The appointments made. First we laid in a shopping trip to the garden centre. I needed freshly topped-up boxes for my windows on the world. Hanging geraniums, deep scarlet-petalled, with deep-blue cascading lobelia. The kitchen herbs in the dining room window were lightly pruned. Thyme, marjoram and rosemary refreshed.
The front windowbox pinks were shifted to the back and paired with paler companions. Rooms reflecting a brighter view. The roof terrace was reconfigured. More plants moved up a pot size to accommodate summer growth.
