Just look at it; the hollyhock, the ipomoea I grew from
seed, my wall trained nasturtiums, the aubrietia, pansies, sunflowers, cosmos, geraniums,
salvia, and all the rest. Even my tomato plants are turning red.
It is all a small wonder. SMILEY FACE!
It is all a small wonder. SMILEY FACE!
It won’t last of course, with august arrived it’s all
downhill from here. Soon everything will get just that little bit too lush, the
flowers will start to get too big and go over too quickly, the slugs will start
to rally and chomp and the blackfly will get too many for my spray… and then
its Autumn. B'RRRRRR!
But all that is to come. For now I’ll just sit out in the
morning and drink coffee, sit out in the evening and drink wine… and enjoy.

ReplyDeletehaving come in from a bike ride, had a coffee sitting in my vast overgrown garden, which I now need to tackle, I looked at yours and thought that your garden would be perfect for me so beautifully planted, lots of pots and a wall! That is my dream to have a walled garden you can keep your timber fences which have to be painted, which rot away and which age to a tumbledown splintering mess, unlike a wall which ages to look mellow and loved.
