My Garden Is Now Open

Would you like to take a little trip around my garden.

Then follow me!

A close-up of my some rocks and a small log by my pond.

I so love Moss.

Terracotta wall planter which looks so pretty with white trailing flowers.

This is under the Pergola which is covered with a huge Grape Vine, evergreen Jasmine, Montana and Wisteria.

It is a lovely shaded area where all my cutting seem to thrive.

This small paved area is by the pond at the bottom of the garden where the evening sun shines.

Edged with reclaimed bricks - stocks, all nice and mossy.

Sadly I have no sign of the white Lupins that were in my boarder, thank you Slugs and Snails by the million.
This time, this deep purple Lupin is planted in a barrell with some Pansies, I can keep a close eye on it here!

Our new lawn has been laid, baskets filled and we have even made a small vegetable garden.

My son James, bless him, has still not quite finished my distressed patio wall,

but I wanted to show you how it looks so far.

Babies Tears which is such a delicate little plant, has been planted everywhere.

Small blue flowers and varigated foliage.

Last years Herb container still flourishes.

I do love Ferns and have used them a lot in little nooks and crannies.
This baby one is at the bottom of a large Tree Fern.

My Tree Fern is just waking up.

Our little Waterfall where I have pushed Baby Tears in-between and on the rocks.

The Hosta is one of my favourite plants.

I love to see it each Spring appearing through the soil.

I have planted Hosta's in serveral in pot's as well.

Keeping the Snails away is a problem though!

Moss is starting to grow on the terrcotta pots, which I love to see.

Around the pond I have tried to create a damp woodland garden.

Arching over the pond grows Solomens Seal.

So gorgeous, so graceful.

The little bell flowers always make me smile.

I am an Earth Sign, Virgo and really do feel so at home with nature.

I am happy to potter for hours in my garden.

I need the peace and quiet to enjoy it most.

The fresh new leaves of another Hosta, so beautiful.

We love our Log Piles.

They look good don't they!

They look even better when a determined little Geranium show's it's face through this pile of logs having travelled from the garden boarder.

This hardy Geranium seeds itself freely.

A potted Robinia Tree and Wild Violets,

which also seed themselves everywhere.

Last night I tried out the little Slate Shelves that I asked James to put in the wall.

The candle lit wall made from reclaimed old Stocks looks wonderful.

I also asked James to put a couple of glass wine bottle bottoms into the wall for decoration.

You can see the green one to the right of the picture.

Our little tour is over.

I hope you enjoyed it.

Also I want to thank you.

For all your supportive and funy comments on my

Moan Post!

It was great to know that I am not alone.

Have a super week.

Carol
