thanks! the pink in the top is Lychnis Ragged Robin - the flowers are really cool and so bright! and they are good for pollinators!
and the red one is just a wall flower has such deep colour and yummy sweet scent! i bought loads bare rooted a few months back, like 10 for £10 or something and now they are all growing really well
Did my usual State of the Garden photo tour yesterday, as it was the first of the month. It was early, before the rain came, sunny , but my fingers were purple with cold when I got in! These show the daffodil meadow finally in full bloom.
The Dell, a wilder, boggy area
Self-sown primroses and wood anemones at the end of the Dell
The terrace borders. The stones on the right are to repair the pond edge and widen the path, as the ducks have undercut it!
View from across the pond, showing pond edge and terraces.
Little pond and bog garden, just waking up. My latest project (one of!) is to extend this where the logs are
But it means creating a new water course. The water from the little pond currently runs into an underground pipe,but I decided it would be much nicer to be able to see and hear it. Making work for myself, but excited to get there
The Wally Garden - a more finished bit to finish on. It's a challenge gardening here, but never boring
What a beautiful place Buttercup - and those views are immense. Love the terraces, and look forward to seeing your projects as they come along. Now I can see why you get problems with howling gales
Buttercup, your garden is beautiful, what fabulous views.
Here is a photo from this morning, I hope. I took a load with my new camera yesterday but they wouldn't download as the site said they were too big. I think I've found how to make my camera take them smaller.
I think it's worked! But now I'll have to delete the big ones and take a load more smaller ones.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

A lovely setting for a garden with plenty of scope for your various areas - stream, pond, terraces etc
You have a lovely garden.

what potential, and how much you'v already done. Have you vr lookd at Mary Keen's "We made a Garden". Full of interesting ideas.
I really should have split this pot of lilies last autumn.
What lovely colours you have Hefty.
