Quick! It's the sun! Someone take a photo!

9 comments

Two days without rain! So whilst the sun had done a bit of digging to get out from behind the clouds, I rushed around with my camera taking advantage of the few minutes of early morning sun now that it’s looking a bit tidier.

My garden being clay it’s about 3 weeks behind everyone else – the centaurea are only just about to flower, as are the paeonies. But just to give you an impression of what it’s like……

This is the view from our bedroom window (you can see the empty space that used to be next door’s fruit trees….)

Herbs growing in old tin baths and buckets (and a gazunder) on the patio.

The vegetable patch

This is the grandly named (by me) ‘Woodland Walk’ – all 12 feet of it!

This is the hammock under the trees – this photo was taken in the morning at about 9am, but in the afternoon the sun filters through the leaves of the fruit trees and you lie in gentle dappled shade…..

And this is Amy – please note that the statue in the background is doing a better job of guarding the garden….

Pots for plants that like sun and dryish conditions – that won’t survive in my clay.

Believe it or not, there’s a pond in the middle of that!

The clematis and grape vine were doing quite a nice job of growing along the trellis to break the eyeline into next door’s garden – until the strong winds on Friday evening blew three fence panels down!

Other Half hates only two things in life – and one of them is putting up fences. But he got on and did it, and we tried to save as much of the clematis – which, typically, was just about to come into flower – as we could.
