Sun and showers - the ultimate growing weather! The garden is starting to get its WOW factor. The rhodos and azaleas are out as are many of the other flowers. 

The front garden looking towards the annexe. Grass mowed and rhodos out

If ever there were pictures which showed the effect I want to achieve these are they!

Alliums beside the main lawn

The tumbling wall by the main lawn

The pergola

The aquilegias on the bank above the belvedere

The view over the aquilegia covered banks to the belvedere and on to the view over the the Wey Valley

An unusual view through the narrow lower path as it winds through the rhodos

Some views of the path by the wall which is starting to 'tumble' and look really good

Moving further down into the woods. This is the azalia bed we planted in 2001. Looking good for the first time

The meadow through the new trees

Right at the bottom of the garden where all the 'new' trees planted in 2001/2 are in leaf

Azalias and rhodos in the front garden

Put out the last of the pots today. Not too many flowers...yet. I'll show you this view of the wall by the kitchen again in a few weeks time.

The greenhouse and the coldframes. I'm growing runner beans and climbing peas in pots this year.
