thanks everyone.. it will be very secluded once finished.. weather not helped but we are slowly making our way down the path and round the side.. it is taking time.. and money.. and never seem to have both of them together
strawberries look lovely WS.. be great with some scones and cream round yours for afternoon tea then
@wintersong.. well i hope you will share the next crop with us all that magic cream sounds devine.. cant wait to try that out.
@cransbill.. gorgeous plants that second yellow rose is exquiste the shape of the petals and the colour are spectacular.
@ havecranesbill ..i have some cranesbill in my garden.. love htem they come up through the shrubs and flower again if i cut them back to tidy them up.. and so easy to divide and get others from. i am atfer a yellow one..but cant find one..do you know of one and also a red one..
Just returned from another day gardening for my parents, I moved a Clematis that my mum thought was dead, it wasn't, it's just being eaten alive, so hopefully it's new sunny location will get it flowering again.
I tidied the borders and then my mum told me that she wanted rid of her flag Iris and I could take the whole lot home, which I have to say was a task and a half! Now I have a huge bin bag full of the pieces sitting in my garden waiting for me to decide where to plant them (enough to make two established clumps if not more).
It's an ordinary yellow type, nothing fancy and whilst I would have prefered a frilly blue or purple version, yellow goes better in the colour schemes where there is spaces. Plus, a free plant is never to be sniffed at! She wants some of my poppies and Sissyrinchium in return so it's a nice swap and I'll throw in some Alpine Phlox if my cuttings are successful.
But the best part of the day was eating fresh peas with my dad in his veg beds. They tasted divine. Well done dad. xx
Enjoyed all the lovely photos--and those strawberries look luscious. Mine are still hard and green--but the sun has opened my peonies at last.
It's going to rain tomorrow and the next day, so today I am going to work on construction. I have been given some free pallets, and I plan to experiment with making a verical garden using succulents for the sunny side and ferns,etc, for the shady one. The pallets are in place already, but could use a coat of stain.
n this is a misfit! Lol! no design element meant in this, but my idea was when the marigolds bushed out as an underplanting, the four Lily bulbs beneath of the same colour would stand prouder! But my Buddies wife came down pottering one day n saw the gap in the centre, so planted a few spares! Didn't have the heart to tell her what was beneath! n then didn't have the heart to take em out!!!! Lol!! All in all they were planted as pollinators!!!!

Oops, strawberries have been eaten already with lashings of special cream, whip 1 carton of double cream with two desert spoons of golden syrup.
Roses and Cranesbills........simple but beautiful!!
Lovely pics Cranesbill.

Herb patch! We robbed the mint blind in the back corner for my Buddies 25th wedding anniversary! He loves Ice Cream!!
Brassica patch being left to it's own devices!
