14th May 14 -Garden Today
Moist and increasingly warm. No better growing conditions.
Panoramic views of the main lawn with the alliums now coming out (replacing the tulips and daffodils) |
Herbaceous bed in the front |
View through the trees in the front garden |
Just love the Lily of the Valley and their carpet of rhododendron petals |
The newly planted rhododendrons and azaleas by the front gate |
The relatively new bed by the greenhouse |
The slope, walled paths and belvederes are looking.. Well, fantastic even if I say it myself! |
Plant(s) of the Day? Can't decide between the self-sown aquilegias and the fern as it unwinds and looks like a Bishop's crook. |
First petunias out on the wall... |
...with more on the way in the greenhouse |
New vegetable beds framed by the 'Burning Bush' azalea |
Or perhaps this wonderful pink rhodo is the 'Plant of the Day'? Too many choices! |
Finally a walk through the woods. The bluebells are still out. So pleased with how it all turned out. |
