2013 or 1913 garden?

It's a beautiful garden, and timeless, would look great in any century!

Absolutely love it all Janey, added to my favs :o))))

Janey agree with Louisa and Annella love it all and have added to favourites.

Thankyou for sharing your garden .

I love your beautiful timeless garden Janey, its the sort of garden that soothes the soul.

A really beautiful garden, Janey, so full of interest and a lovely view over the wall too. Those poppies are gorgeous too, mine are still buds!

Nothing dated in my opinion. It's a beautiful garden with such lovely mature plants. I've noticed my poppies are looking quite good this year too. Yours are beautiful.

I think fashion is irrelevant to garden really - yours is timeless as Stroller says. It must be wonderful to have a tall old wall like yours. Your flowers are gorgeous.

Thanks so much everyone....such lovely comments...:))
I'm very happy with it, as you are with your own garden, it's like a sanctuary, being between the walls and hidden. Though we're in the centre of the village, you could be wherever you want to be...:)

Stunning garden Janey...so full of beautiful flowers...I love it!!...:>)

Beautiful garden, love the walled border :)

Its as stuning as allways .. Love ur garden .. Xx

Absolutely beautiful, Janey...a perfect cottage garden. I love your little vegetable garden too.

You have a lovely garden janey, I think gardens mould themselves to the house and owner.......:))

Just lovely,Janey..love your Poppies,and Aquilegia..and a great wall to set it all off to perfection..I see you have a little stone Owl ..mine is similar in size...his name is Eric ! Lol.Thanks for sharing with us :o)

Hello Janey, you have so beautiful old garden! I like those gardens, with stone walls and many old trees casting shades on paths :-) I love also ivy on old walls, yours is a very special one, do you know its name? Pink verbascum is very very nice, I have two in my garden, but they are yellow, I have never heard - or let say- have never seen pink ones. Your oriental pink poppies are just very nice and suit with colours to that old fashioned space.
Now little bit tricky comment. I noticed, you have some of the plants, which belong to so called "witch garden". They are:
Clary Sage, White-seeded Poppy, Elfwort, Mugwort, Sage, Vervain, Yarrow, Belladonna, Foxglove, Henbane, Hyssop, Rowan, Rue, White Sage, Witch’s Broom, Wormwood, Monkshood, Hellebore. I have some of them, because I am not a total witch, lol. However, if your garden is Art Nouveu, you should have peonies and roses there. Did you have there some, when you bought this garden?

I love the garden, lovely plants and lovely setting. :O)

Your garden is full of interest and looks lovely. I'm not the sort of person for a modern minimalist look - all empty and boring. Give me an old fashioned style any day :o)

Me too.

Lovely garden. And I'm with you Hywel!

And me :-), beautiful garden Janey..........

Yes me too ... Pack it all in lol ,fantastic garden .. Wud love to visit xxx

Thoroughly enjoyed the tour . . . you have a beautiful garden Janey, and I love Aquilegia 'Amy' lol!

Aw, thanks everyone!.......:)). Yes I agree Holly.....I just wish it was larger as there's no room left for anything else...lol!

My Owl was a Mothers day gift Sandra.....shall call her Erica as she's only tiny....:))

Thanks Katerina, the Ivy is Hedera Gold heart I think a great attraction for birds nesting and they love the berries in winter. Ha ha.....yes the cottage looks like it could have been a witch cottage or maybe alchemists..... love herbs and have planted lots of Mediterranean types as the soil's a bit poor and dry....not after today's downpour though! I'm not sure that I have all those you've named, but a good few, I like making Teas from them especially Sage. Lots of roses Katerina and just one Paeony which isn't very happy being neighbours with the poisonous Aconite!

Pleased you all like it, it would be great to have you visit,
We could have tea and cakes in the summer house which I shall call winter house, and is as yet a six inch base....lol! My camera is very kind too as it makes it look much bigger than it really is, 3 minutes and you'd have seen it all.....Ha ha!

Your garden is lovely. I like your terracota pots in the midst of the plants, they add so much interest.

I just love your garden Janey ...timeless...:-))

Thanks folks!!....:o))

Good choice of name,Janey..made me smile :o) Mine was a Christmas present..our family obviously have good taste..I love mine ..He is a guard Owl ,keeping watch by the front door..pity he can't eat Pizza flyers ! Lol.

Ha Sandra! Couldn't put mine by the front door...it would get nicked!

your garden is beautiful, very much how I hope my garden will look in years to come x

Aw thank you Andrea pleased you like it....:))

Mostly golden oldies around here,I doubt if they could even pick him up ! .it .takes me all my time.:o) I wouldn't fancy dropping one on my toes :o)

You have a really lovely garden Janey, lots of inspiration there for me :o)

He he Sandra.....something to be said for getting older, when I remember what it is I'll let you know....:))

Cheers Gg! .......:))

Didn't spot your broomstick....where are you hiding it? ;)) Your garden is gorgeous and I love that yellow ivy. But I love all the plants on these pics Janey. You do know that Aconite is very poisonous don't you?...what am I thinking...of course you know that....that's why you've got it there...for one of your potions....;) Katarina...you're on to her...I just know you are!

I absolutely adore Art Nouveau as you may know. It would be good to introduce an A.N. piece of art wouldn't it....what do you think....did you see Lulu's A.N. lady on the wall of her garden? Perhaps you have something already.

Three minutes? I could spend three hours! :))

Lol...Karen....yes I keep threatening that Aconitum, then another piece pops up....it certainly loves it here!

Yes it would Karen, not sure what though, I shall have a look at Lulu's garden for inspiration.....what I would like is a miniature pool with spout from the wall, but first were having a summerhouse erected.....that would give you a couple of more minutes to look round.....ha.ha!

Wondrful garden Janey love your style and so many beutiful plants, those poppies are fantastic Victoria Louise? they are the ones I have but mine are quite a way behind yours! I love that Dusky Verbascum a real beauty;0)

You've got a beautiful, well thought out garden with plants for every location! That creamy Ivy looks great and the Verbascums and the Poppies..well all the plants! And glad your Runner Beans are doing well.I've sowed 4 lots of French Beans(2in potting shed and 2 direct in garden) but I only have a handful of plants to show for it and they aren't doing very well.Such cold winds constantly here this year!
Great blog and pictures!

Great blog beautiful garden:)

Thanks Carole....:)). Yes the Poppies have enjoyed the cool wet conditions haven't they....everything's flowering at once now!

Glad you like it Paul, yes the beans are really putting a spurt on now, hope yours are beginning to flourish....it's a bit disheartening isn't it when it's been so cold for so long, I've only planted 6 tomato plants.....I'm sure it'll be October before there's any fruit....lol!

Thanks Nana d!

It's looking that way with everyone's tomatoes , Janey, I think!

Loved it all Janey but then I always did love your garden and your garden walls and your fabulous cottage I would steal it all away if I didn't think you would put a spell on me LOL ....

What can I say Janey.... everybody has said it for me!Beautiful garden, envious of your stone walls instead of horrible fences, ans so many lovely lovely plants. I don't care if you are a witch.... your garden has me spellbound!!:-)
