Pretty Nuisances in the Jungle


Because I was not able to restrain the spreading of my plants last summer,
among others these grow pretty wild today. In addition everything grows in the lap of the other,
so in the autumn there shall be a lot of dividing & replanting & donating!


Centaurea montana pops up everywhere! Of course it is pretty and blue resembling a cornflower.
The white version is more beautiful in my opinion and maybe not spreads as eagerly.



Geranium phaeum is the worst of all! I have got one plant in a swap but today
it grows everywhere! Usually I cut it down after blooming, trying to avoid seeding.

A weed is a plant that has mastered every survival skill 
except for learning how to grow in rows. 
- Doug Larson


Phalaris arundinacea has had tens of growing places through the years.
Now it grows limited to bedrock and can’t run anymore.


Then there is this Papaver orientale ’Olympia’ that does not exactly match the colours 
of purple alliums! I got its seeds years ago and it is impossible to get rid of it in unwanted places.
The good thing is, that the blooming time is short. It’s at its best in bud.




Too many different plants per square metre! Mostly spread or seeded there by themselves.


Gardens are not made by singing 'Oh, how beautiful,’ 
and sitting in the shade. 
- Rudyard Kipling

So true. It is constant weeding and keeping in check
the plant's tenacious & vigorous will to spread and seed!


Anyway - happy gardening my friends!

  10. Kaunis puutarha sinulla. Eikä näytä viidakolta.
    Noita samoja pahiksia on minullakin, vaikka muille jakaa.
    Paljous ei haittaisi, jos älyäisivät pysyä omissa lokeroissaan :)
