I have more or less given up blogging but it's the best way, I find, to keep a record of things that I might want to remind myself about at some time in the future.
I don't mind if I'm the only person who sees this post. I started blogging in the first place for my own satisfaction.
Now, I just love taking photos of our little garden. It's far from perfect, very small and needs a lot more time spent on it than I have to spare. Nevertheless, despite the neglect, you just can't keep a good plant down. Mother nature is determined to do her best, sometimes, I think, even despite my poor efforts!
I regularly take photos of the garden. It's a good way to keep track of how various plants are doing; which do well; which need help and also it's interesting to compare the progress of the garden from season to season and year to year.
Today's shots were taken because I needed to test a new memory card which my OH said was giving him problems. It certainly recorded these photos well enough.
I haven't bought any new roses for many years but have given way to temptation this year and bought three. Here is a climber I bought which I hope to train to cover the trellis you can just see. Called 'Compassion'. Looks promising . . .
Having only a small garden, there is always space for smaller varieties of plants. Here's one of our patio roses. We've had this for a few years. It may be small but it's beautifully formed!
Another of our patio roses in a lovely delicate, pale pink.
I have several clematis. Like many people, we lost several fence panels in the winter storms. This Jackmanii clematis always does well but I think it's doing even better this year after having been cut right down to soil level when the fence came down.
A nice little splash of colour by the shed . . .
Finally, I never tire of this lavender and fuchsia combination.
Lots more on my Flickr page if you're real gluttons for punishment!
Happy gardening!
