I think I could go on forever with the better-makers....but here's the last three for now: Nothing like something fresh and green to lift the spirits. This is a packet of oriental salad leaves I'm growing inside my kitchen windowsill. I enjoy looking at it just as much (possibly more) than I love eating it.
Viburnum tinus - people are often a bit rude about this plant, saying it is carparkey...I think they need a visit from Miss Manners. This is one of my favourite winter cheer-me-up shrubs. It has honey-scented flowers and I wouldn't be without it.
And last but not least...a little-known cultivar called Book delivered. There is still a lot to be done, but the bones are there and it feels like something 'created' (which is very better-making). The book is still untitled (the quote is there because it's how I feel). I am waiting to be inspired...
