21st May 11

Cooler but still dry. Garden very advanced...

Bed on main lawn

I have never known a begonia out in May

Lupins on the slope

Elizabeth and I agreed, after much debate, that the peonies were the 'Flower of the Day'. The bees certainly like them.

The view again. Love how the path goes off into the distance enticing you to go and see what is around the bend.

Smudge talks a stroll

The wild flowers by the steps down into the wood.

The woods are really getting dense. We clearly planted them too close together.

Strawberries in the greenhouse

Veg coming on well. have a lovely salad today.

Very welcome guest (although he lives here) No need for slug pellets in our garden!
