Dearest EJ,
……… Your garden sounds charming, but it is too late to plant seeds. They should be planted in February in the south, in March in Cumberland…Will you be there in the autumn? If so you could plant roots of dahlias now for flowering in September – also roots for Pansies, pentunias, night-scented stock, tobacco plant, nemesia, pinks. Carnations, stocks – nasturtiums where nothing else looks as if it would grow, and you will probably find all sorts of amusing plants that we don't know.
