| Charles thinks he has conquered the lawn now that the daffodils have finally gone |
 |
| A parting of the ways to the right the Italian Garden and to the left the Serpentine walk with its benches to look at the view |
 |
| The Gunnera that enjoys some of the lane run off that we pipe under the garden |
 |
| The Agave is doing well this year as we only had one frost this winter |
 |
| An exotic looking border designed by Ian Lowe - he wouldn't approve of the Oriental poppies that have crept in though! |
 |
| There is plenty of scope for Charles and his mower and guests to stroll |

| An area i am developing in the shelter belt looking out towards the shipping lanes |

| The lavender has finally bloomed in the little formal sundial garden under the bathroom windows |
 |
| Walking towards the terrace in front of the garden room and blue room - it will soon be time for the Agapanthus |
 |
| I can't resist terracotta pots as you know! |
 |
| The next plan - the battered galvanised (ex) trough - too leaky to use now is going to find a new use |
I took these pictures after our gardening efforts on Monday - I love to look back at the photos on bleak December days and think of those blue blue skies filled with bird song.........but for now one more assault with the strimmer should do it!

Once again THANK YOU so much for the lovely walk around your garden. Are yourselves and any of the village gardens opening this year??
ReplyDeleteLove the tea pot. Must try and find one a little nearer to home though.
You are very welcome Kathy - no I'm afraid we are not opening this year for the NGS - I don't think I have to time to do the garden justice at the moment but it is maturing and gaining hight so one day again maybe The village openings have finished now the refurbishment of the church rooms has been completed but if you would like to come for a private view of the garden, you would be very welcome, just give me a ring - it always looks better at the beginning of the week just after lawns have been cut!! Alas the hedges in the Italian garden are now ready to cut - the Forth bridge just isn't in it! Christine
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! How many acres of land do you have? Your garden seems to have no boundaries!
ReplyDeleteIt is a very small farm of 22 acres AbigailsBandB, The garden is perhaps about an acre. We used to open for the NGS and I think Itook the instruction 45 minutes of interest to mean distance! Christine
