My garden

After a prolonged dry and hot spell I feared the flowers would be baldly hit. However, in the past week or so many varities have matured quite well and produced a much better than expected effect.

Now that's what you call a proper cottage garden, it's lovely.

Are you called Corpusty because that's where you came from?

Thank you for all your kind comments.The cottage garden effect is our preverred type of garden. We don't go in for the formal,neat and straight line type. My ancestors came from the Corpusty/Saxthorpe area of Norfolk in the 19th century, were agricultural workers, so my "name" is out of respect to them.

I'm not the formal, clean and tidy gardener either, but your garden looks tidier than mine! Watching the Goldfinches on the Phlomis seeds morning makes it worth while to leave the seed heads on things, they enjoy lots of them. We had a mob of sparrows eating the dried out seeds from the quaking grass - which was good otherwise it tries to take over. I thought that you must have a connection to Corpusty as it's an unusual name! All of my distant ancestors were farm workers in Norfolk, though there is a more upmarket Miller tradesman amongst them!!

A very pretty, natural looking garden with lots and lots of late summer colour.
