I took a few photos of the garden the other day when I was out there enjoying the sunshine, I'm glad I took them when I did as yesterday rained most of the day and today is very gloomy and overcast (very warm too though, feels very close).
Looking quite glorious now, lovely trumpets for the bees to go in and out of.
I'm rather fond of Geraniums, good staples to have in pots providing such vivid colour.
The camellia has finished flowering it's beautiful full pink blooms.
This is a new addition, a Honeysuckle to grow up our pergola. It's in a pot so I'm hoping it still manages to thrive, there are lots of buds waiting to burst into flower.
more Lupins along the back of this raised planter.
Pretty anemone, closing every evening then waking up each day and stretching open it's petals.
Couple of hanging baskets starting out
Sweet williams and our heuchera.
It's had a lick of paint this year, our tiered planter. Full of trailing petunias, lobelia and some geraniums too. It's just started flowering, so hopefully each tier will grow and reach down to the one below, filling the garden with colour.
I wanted to show you our beautiful foxgloves and thank everyone who identified them when they first appeared.

We have a few tubs around the garden, this one has petunias tumbling out of it (I kept Honey in the photo, she's nice and relaxed in the sunshine).

The rambling rose climbing up the other side of the pergola, also full of buds.

Looking over everything are the green men
The vegetables are doing well too, we have lettuces, cauliflowers, peas and brussel sprouts in the trugs and tomatoes and cucumbers in the greenhouse. There are a few things we haven't planted this year such as radishes and potatoes, which I shall miss, if only there were a few more hours in a day (more space would be nice too).
Andrew's watching the rugby so I'm going to go and sit in the conservatory and do some patchwork while the light is still good.
Take care

Lovely lot of flowers. Do you think we have more blooms this year? Our garden has never seen such a mass before.
ReplyDeleteWe did have some lovely Spring weather, perhaps it's helped bring everything on x
DeleteSome stunning colour in your garden Cheryl and the planter is lovely. I really should give mine a bit more attention but I've fallen out of love with it at the moment. X
ReplyDeleteI do love June in the garden, so much colour, lots to look at and enjoy x
DeleteWhat a lot of colour. You won't be without foxgloves now, I've had to dig up loads of self seeded ones this year, they grow all over the place. I'm a big fan of sweet williams, I've just bought some from the supermarket today for the house. They have a gorgeous scent. Awww, whoever said it's a dog's life? Honey looks so sweet enjoying the sunshine.
ReplyDeleteThese foxgloves were a lovely surprise, so I shall look forward to seeing more in future years. Honey is a sweetie pie, they all like to be comfortable on the cushions x
DeleteYour flowers are all thriving and looking so lovely ( you know how much I love flowers!!) I think this year the Foxgloves are exceptionally pretty whether in Canada or England.
