Garden Snap Shots!

Roses are simply stunning this year, although a bit more blackspot around. Took this yesterday of our huge Alberic Barbiere climber, which climbs through fencing at back of the house.  (Our house is back to front, we have big garden technically at the front, but there’s no access for visitors)

Beautiful TDA. I planted one here a couple of years ago but it's taking a long time to grow, I grew one at a previous home and the next owners chopped it down...they removed everything except the grass! Nice to see yours is doing so well. It's been a really good year for roses...heard it on the radio this morning, so it's official...

My Bathsheba has only two buds starting to open. But still fairly cold in the East.

Meadow grass now starting to grow, path mowed to compost area, chairs under tree for late afternoon.

That’s looking lovely Eriba, what a transformation. 👏👏

A green oasis EribaM. Good to have the trees for shade.

Our apple trees are shedding leaves, they are under stress from the dry weather. There is much talk locally that it won't be a good apple year but I can see plenty on our trees. These are cider apple trees.

Wisteria’s flowering again. Started doing this each year .

Someone else's garden today, Forde Abbey just before the rain arrived! Giant Hostas doing well in the bog garden, in fact all of the bog garden was spectacular. Lifts the spirits to see things doing well. Oh then I spied some peaches in the glass house! 

Yes brue can’t beat the Hostas for a good display 

Coo, lovely spot today in Mum’s garden, Hummingbird Hawk Moth😁 Haven’t seen one for a while, first time at Mum’s. It was loving the Lavender👍
