It is nice to visit gardens to get ideas - nice photo yarrow2 like the grass in the photo and the flowers I try to grow some flowers with the veg to attract the bees
Rosa I went by boat don't like flying so 3 hours later with a shop on board not too bad nice views. boat still goes there
Just come back from visiting a garden in the NGS. Very cold day and obviously chose this date for the daffodils, which being late, were not out. Could see a lot of structure, We were pushing a wheelchair so could only see a small part of the grounds
Put the house in for those who like to be extra nosey
There were big groves of magnolias, so in a couple of months I think it would be Wow
There's a recent thread about pond edging. The snap below shows the edge of my pond. The details in the picture are not easy to see. There are irises in the pond, which merge into plants on the land side. The pond edge can't be seen....
The plant in the right foreground, with a mass of roots near the surface, is a pond lily.
Gary - fabulous photos as usual We have a big toad that sometimes lurks in the garage but I haven't seen him for a while. How he gets under the garage door is beyond me . He's enormous.

Glad you put in the house, I'm one of the nosey ones!
Looks as though it will be super a bit later.
Wow, what a garden and house. And the hedge!!!! Must take hours to keep that trimmed. Rather them than me.
This may be astupid question- how do I find which gardens are open please?
NGS web site - also it was in the local press. When I got there I was given leaflets for the county I live in, showing gardens open and dates.
First though I went to the web

Lovely pics BJ - shame you didn't get to see the daffs though. Thanks for remembering the nosey people too
Happy frogs...
And with their spawn...
