Summertime gardens at Ednovean Farm

Well what a summer we have had this year with each day conjuring up images of the Mediterranean to our everyday lives. Our Garden has flourished here at Ednovean Farm this year, enjoying the dry heat and basking in the sunshine.
Why not visit my July Garden Diary to see the snaps.

A succession of grasses give autumn interest

I must say that even  now on the cusp of autumn the garden is still sending up new growth towards the sun. If you have missed my regular updates do pop along to Google+ to visit my Garden collection where I add my snaps a couple of times a week.

What a difference a season makes! (see below!)
Will we ever have such a wonderful summer agian or will be forever destined to intone "In my young day the summers were so hot!" Time will tell but I'd prefer us not to see the Beast from the East again this winter What a long journey we have made into our perfect Mediterranean Summer in the Garden

Where's the Ednovean Diary?

So where has the Ednovean Diary gone to? Well it is still alive and well and available on our website but every now and again I do pop in yo here to give you a gentle reminder about how to find it.

It's not that I don't like Blogger, it is so easy to use but I just don' have time to keep up two blogs at the moment - or maybe I only have one thought at a time!

So this was Ednovean Farm this week in the cool light of the February sunshine as our ivy-clad Farmhouse settled to wait for summer as it has no doubt done over the centuries.
