The long border is looking full now and I was worried that they would look empty this year. The steps are still no further along it seems, will have to do them myself I reckon. Have got temporary posts in round the sunken bed, hopefully th'spouse will think they look so naff he will replace them.
I love the colours in this border, even the lupin does appear to be blue. A lilac colour pansy has managed to get passed but as it seems so happy we'll leave it be.
The border back towards the mill, some of the plants are really getting tall now. Its interesting seeing the colours back to front too.
The small triangle bed (pink) was supposed to be part of the avairy bed, but I decided it was too large so left the path which everybody liked best. The rose growing up the post is Geutrude Jekyll.
The pond end of the stream bed even with no rain is still wet so the plants are still growing well.
This is the biggest expanse of lawn we have in this garden, and as it seems to stay damp for so long after rain we have decided to leave it as lawn, also it just looks nice and is nice to sit under when the sun is baking.
The candelabra primula's are just coming to the end, but the siberian irises are just starting to flower
