Our Garden

 Here are some pictures of our garden.


Early days, since this photo was taken the 2 shrubs either side of the spiky plant on the left have been cut down and I've cleared out some of the borders. 


This is the new border area, planted with perennials and some seeds to encourage wildlife, slugs are invited to their own parties in the beer traps.  The plant on the right is a wood aven which I mistook for a geum, I realised the error when they started growing rather prolifically and a lot of them have now come out.     

 

The alligator end, this border was overgrown and has been planted up in a joint effort.



This area is a bit sad but I am hoping for great things.  It is on a steep slope alongside our jetty which is on the right of the photo.  The peonies had a brief spell of glory and the slugs are gradually diminishing as they discover the delights of beer.  The area was overcast by the shrubs on the left which I cut back before planting it up.  I've sewn some californian poppies, english marigolds and nasturtiums in here.


Some of the baskets and tubs Rob and I planted up last week.  


 

The community herb garden, anyone can help themselves.
