how the garden looked on the day i got home. sobering but comforting that the garden does so well in my absence. of course the sweet friends who watered and watched while i was gone are beyond praise. the weather here in reno was wonderful and it looks as though things improved in the u.k. hostas absolutely flawless even sieboldiana and jade cascade.
@david.. is that alum globes i can see.. they are open much earlier than mine.. where are you in the country. impressive garden..
love you paths.. i am trying to decide what ot do for my garden path up front.. the feel is cottage i am going for.. but god i cant decide on the paving.. the longer i take to decide the longer it is before i get it.
David, your garden looks wonderful--lush and green. It has a very serene feeling to it--wonderful textures.
It's the hottest day here so far-and tomorrow will be even warmer. Must water for the first time later on. Still stuck into construction--everything takes longer than you think it will, doesn't it?
@Excitable Boy, thanks for the informed critique of Malvern! It's always best straight from the horse's mouth...not that you look anything like a horse
What a brilliant weekend we've all had, lovely and sunny without being too hot to work. Have done more 'clearing', still loads to go lol and have planted out alot of my new shrubs etc, my 'post building work' front garden is starting to take shape at last.
I collected some summer plants and herbs from Excitable Boy.....lovely to meet you and again a huge thank you! The hostas have been given a new home and look very nice indeed . I just wish I didnt have to go back to work tomorrow, would love to spend even more time in the garden......dream on Woo!
gardenfantic-the main paths are pea gravel on top of 6 inches of sand-plants love seeding in that-the other paths are manufactured stone in various shapes which allow for curves-and yes the sun ordinarily shines every day all day from april until october
