Around the Garden...

I thought I would share some photos of my garden.  I am really happy with how the garden is looking this year but I still think it is not quite how I would like it....but as they say a garden is always a work in progress.

 

This is looking up the garden path!!  The foxgloves have grown great this year, I also put a lot more in this time.

 

Looking down the path. The magnolia at the end has grown so high.

 

I think the foxgloves look great amongst the roses.

 

The rose on the arbour has come back so thick...I think it needed the hard cut back.

Rose out the front

 

 Pierre de Ronsard rose that I moved from out the back to grow over the other side of the front arbour, has thankfully survived and growing well. I love this rose.

The rose along the back fence is starting to flower.

The foxgloves behind the old fence are growing crazy and the sweet peas too.

 

One of the foxgloves behind the fence, the one on the left at the back, is so tall, it comes up to my forehead.  I am only 157cm tall (yes I'm a shorty), but the foxglove really is quite tall and looks great.

A close up of the tall one, love the bell shaped flowers...stunning!

The Iris' are starting to flower too...I think of Nan when these flower as her name was Iris.

 

I planted 3 different tomato plants, mini roma, cherry tom and golden cherry tomato and they have started to fruit.  The spinach at the back is still growing wild, one of the bean seeds that I planted has started to take off, don't think the others I planted are going to shoot so I planted a few more seeds last weekend so hopefully this will shoot. I'm thinking maybe they are getting too much shade from the spinach so I might have to pull the spinach out.

 

What's been happening in your garden?

Enjoy your day!
