Your blog is wonderful, very inspirational and beautiful. Thanks for sharing your ideas. The colour palette you showed is where my garden has been for several years but now I'm getting hooked on apricot/sherbet orange/ yellow combinations even tho they sometimes clash with my existing colours. Hope I am up to the challenge! On a more mundane level, have you ever posted about fertilizing? I've never done much beyond spreading composted manure in the spring and would like to do more if it would make a difference. Your advice would be invaluable – if you haven't posted, maybe there's a book you could recommend. Thanks again.

Alex, you can order my magazine from Magcloud.com in the UK, they ship to North America and the UK. Thanks for the nice comments about Plant Society Magazine. I had planned on it being a quarterly publication, but that never really happened ( work, time, etc). I almost completed a magazine this winter ( a winter issue) so I am holding off on it. Thanks for the boost, maybe I will design a new one before winter.

Hi Matt,
I have been thinking of contacting you asking for more posts on color palette combinations. So I was very happy this morning to see this post and hope you do many more.
Have just refurbished my 30 by 36' greenhouse and am restoring an acre of property and due to the beautiful May weather in the Pacific Northwest(80 miles north of Seattle)my late-sown seeds of over 200 flower and vegetable varieties have all germinated and coming along nicely.
My collections are many, although a little scrambled and have increased since finding your site. Your posts are helping me pull it together and I owe my English sweet peas to you. Am eagerly waiting for them to bloom, but they are only a few inches tall and I can't make up my mind to cordon or not.
I just wish you had time to post more often! Thank you for your great blogging.
Kate

Matt, wonderful bunch of flowers from your garden. Looking forward to posts on your sweet peas — I got zip from my vines this winter/spring and pulled them out. And have to thank your reader for the head's up on Far Reaches Farm going mail order — wow, great news!

Stunning. Of course, the lathyrus makes it what it is. 🙂
