June Garden

Fantastic flowers ... added to GoYpedia.

What a beautiful Peony you have Dorjac.

You've got lots of lovely plants packed in there, Dorjac. I'm glad you bought your Sweet Tea - I looked in my garden for a baby one but I think (!) they are mostly ginger ales and perhaps a marmalade!! So much for telling them apart. Your sink looks very lush - mine seems slow to spread although my daughter's boyfriend bought me a miniature petunia and I popped that in - a beautiful purple one. I do like your Essex rose, beautiful and so many blooms. Does it smell as good as it looks?

Peonies are one of my favourite, it's gorgeous! You've some lovely roses and all look very healthy.
It looks ever so private in the middle of the circle - perfect!

its all looking great, really bright and cheerful. You might be able to identify your little geranium sanguineum if you google Geranium sanguineum images and click on the fourth picture. There are so many and several that shade. I have two that match yours but am bad at keeping labels.

Everything looks great your geraniums and peony are ahead of mine here in Wales we have a lot of rain which all plants need but not enough Sun ! :))

Everything looks so healthy and colourful Dorjac. Shame about the eggs and young blackbirds taken by the Magpies, but that's nature in the raw. Everything eats something else to keep alive. We eat meat, and fish, but some people don't like the thought that an animal or fish has to be killed for us to do so.

Lindak.... I do realise it is nature. Some of it is down to what we create. Last night on Springwatch there was an adder robbing a nest of young,in a bramble thicket, leaving one, entirely natural. The RSPB made islands in a shallow lake within fencing for birds to nest. A badger climbed the fence, swam out, and robbed all the nests on one island. Not so sure about this one. Our garden is way ahead Kidsgran. Another long hot sunny day will see it go blooming silly. Thanks Steragram I'll look that up. Scottish, I'm so pleased about this peony root. The other root made one lovely flower. Needs a lot of support. Gee they had these giant Sweet Teas at the Essex Garden show and no tiny ones anywhere. To my surprise it's a Heucherella. Linda it would look great in one of your lovely flower arrangements.....lovely soft perfume too. TT thanks very much.

p.s. Dorjac, Your Campanula is lovely. They seem to do well in pots don't they.

Some really lovely plants Dorjac plenty there to fill up your senses.

I forgot to say Gee that the county roses don't seem to have a perfume at all. I like the single petals with the open centre for the bees.
Essex blooms over and over again too.

Good to see your garden, lots going on, some lovely plants and loads of colour, shame to hear about the blackbirds....... That's nature for you....

Thanks DD. I was so upset. Then I saw Springwatch in a more natural setting and realised how nature works. Last Friday I opened the back door to see feathers everywhere in both borders either side of the path. I think one of the newly minted pigeons was slaughtered by evil back and white cat (he ran off, and the poor pigeon died soon after). They were in the nest above in the Hawthorn tree. Not a good year for the birds in our garden.

Oh dear........we have cat scarers in the garden, although I love cats and had them for many years, I just got fed up with clearing up the mess!! from other peoples pets (ours used litter trays...

I squirted him yesterday with my new toy, like a giant syringe, my OH got on Amazon. We kept cats for over thirty years, but I hate the dedicated bird hunters. nb&w is very defiant, like a lot of dominant cats, but that may cure him of defiantly lurking...he is new to the garden.

Would like to have seen you with your giant new toy lol
