My garden

The rest of my garden isn’t too bad….

When we moved into our house twelve years ago, there wasn’t a single flowering plant or shrub in the garden - just a couple of cordylines in what is now my rockery wall. I can’t imagine a garden without flowers, but for people with busy jobs and young families who are time poor it’s often the last thing they want to think about I suppose.

Shinamae they have been in pots for years and the pots have copper slug tape around them. The slugs actually rear away rather than cross it.

I love your little water garden!

That’s lovely Shinamae, you’ve done so much since you posted the last pictures of your garden when you were starting out, I hope you’re enjoying the process.

The blue and green hosta bottom right is very pretty. Do you know what it is called Greyduster?

It’s my wildlife pond I have never wanted fish, but I enjoy having frogs and newts…🐸🐸🐸🐸

I tried to post the original of this photo that I’m using as my screensaver saver at the moment, it is the view from our south facing window.

But I couldn’t! Our actual garden is small and mostly gravel now but I enjoy the views over the surrounding fields both south and west.

It wonderful and very peaceful but part of me would like to be like Hellogirl and just not have to worry about it.

All lovely gardens. So much variety.
Shinamae you have done well with your gardening. I remember you starting out last year. Lovely to see the progress.

Thank you so much, but I must be honest and say that I have paid a God to do most of it, well I don’t drink drive or smoke and I consider it money well spent…

They’re all very very nice, but I love this one….

My garden, though fairly wild, has some nice areas and I enjoy it, like the rest of you! Pond is looking good at the moment and trees have formed an arch leading to fruit and veg area.

Do you mean the elderflower? It is a Sambusus Nigra Black Lace. Has taken off since I moved it into a full sun spot

A better picture though showing my uncut grass ☹️

I do believe that these disappear during the winter, but when they reappear l will get them put into pots with the tape around because they’re such attractive plants but such a feast for the slugs and snails!! 🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌
I saved a snails life this morning. He was clinging to the side of the shed, a little yellow snail being baked alive by the Sun so I put it down on some leaves….(maybe he’ll tell his friends and they will leave my hostas alone!) 😁

Do you know why the French eat snails? They don’t like fast food

Sorry

😂

Thank you Shinamae
