Blog for Val (Valadel)

18 comments

Every so often Val asks me to take photos in her garden some will have seen her garden before ,personally I am always amazed at what she achieves for a lady who for the most part needs help to move around and working at ground level means sitting on it ,she is an example to me when my back aches bending over and I think how the H—- does she do it.
Val was in the shower when I arrived and didn’t want her back washed so I took the pictures.
Anyway lets go

Could still smell the scent of the Roses in my mind as I looked at the Pics

Just had to have a close up of these

sorry Val should have been one higher

How on earth did Val get those up there ? she lives on her own.

now this what I call a Semp wonder what they are liked cooked ?

Would never have considered putting a white climber on white UPVC but it works clever girl.

Just realized the cats have stopped eating the grass

Inside the house more colour

Vals constant companions

Not so secret anymore. hope you approve .

Beautiful - you have to admire her - but I know you do a lot to help. Do you know what the fuchsia in the first pic is?
(My Hoya bella has flower buds I was so surprised - will put a photo on when they come out.)

Well done Val. Your garden is definitely up to Chelsea standard again. Brians photos do it justice and I can smell all those lovely scents from here. You must tell us how you got those pots up there, or is it a secret between you and the fairies at the bottom of the garden. The sedum roof on the bird feeder is doing well but I wonder what the birds make of puss taking over.

Beautiful, specially love the orange begonia - mine didn't do so good last year - & the yellow rose too. Both fav colours of mine.
Compliments to Val.

A credit to her and obviously a much loved and cared for garden, I too am wondering about the pots but am a great believer in " Where there's a will " I think Val probably is of the same mind and long may it continue.
Lovely photo's Brian, you have done her proud, thankyou for sharing..

Definitely! Approval is granted for Val's garden! I especially love that Dianthus! Can you give it a name please Val...if you can. Oh, and stay off the step ladders, you naughty lady (popping pots on your rooftop).

She is an inspiration to all of us.

It must have been a real pleasure to wander amongst all those beautiful scents to take these lovely photographs.
