Garden page
This page has several photos of my wonderful garden. Depending on the speed of your connection, it may take a minute or two to download all the images. Worth waiting if you like gardens!
Garden - front (1) This is the front of my house, facing southwest, with remains of wallflowers and bluebells in foreground - it must be May. There is a deep pink climbing rose against the house and drainpipe. Later the beds have pinky-red valerian and deep blue nepeta, then sage and marjoram, daylilies and aster frikartii Munch which is brilliant for autumn, flowering pale purple for ages.
This is the western corner of my garden, under the apple trees. My predecessor was a beekeeper and must have planted these snowdrops and crocuses - they are wonderful! Later there is cowparsley/ Queen Anne's Lace, and lots of ivy. The horses lean over the fence and eat a lot of the apples. Garden - western corner
Garden - front (2) This is the front garden again, looking from the apple tree end (west) up to the road (southeast) with climbing rose and valerian and on the right, bright oriental poppies in the boundary hedge.
Back garden in May/June - the best time - showing irises, poppies and daisies round my pond, and iris pseudacorus (flag iris) growing out of the water. Back garden
Side garden Side garden in May in allium christophii, daisies, white feraniums and alchemilla mollis.
Also in the allicum bed - allicum schubertii, against the apple trees. Allicum schubertii
