Around my Garden

A rather picture heavy post as I forgot to publish the other day and now I have more to add to it!

Flora and Fauna around my garden, not many words, mainly just pictures as I don't have many words to say at the moment.


I think my garden is the most colourful it has ever been this year and I am really pleased with it.  It makes me smile, and that is good.

















These plums were delicious, but ripened too quickly!


Adding a bit of vegetation to the pond to encourage wildlife.  I have a difficult time getting anything to grow round it though - I think it is too shaded and dry.



These Dalmatian beans have been delicious and I wish I'd planted more, but I thought we'd be moving!  Next time I will plant regardless.



My son's gladioli that he planted - shame he isn't at home to see it.


The soft colours are so pretty, but don't show especially well against the white wall.



A range of dahlia, they have been putting on a great display.





Captured and wrapped!


















Apples will be ready soon.




The rhubarb is looking better than it was.


Spring onions to have with dinner.

    1. Thank you. The garden has indeed been a blessing and worth the hard work I put into in the Spring and early summer. It needs constant work, but I haven't done so much of late.

  2. The flowers are gorgeous. The spider is amazing (ew... but amazing). Neat stuff!

    1. Thank you Sally. I am still experimenting with and getting to grips with my new little camera. I am enjoying its macro abilities!

  3. That is utterly bizarre Lorraine. I know that you posted that the other day and I am absolutely certain that I commented. There were not as many photos though - I don't recall the onions for example. But how come? I am now utterly flummoxed. I could never have dreamed about the spider pictures nor the Dalmation beans (of which I had never heard). Please tell me I'm not going mad.

    1. I posted similar, but definitely different pictures 31st July (you commented 13th August) so that is probably the confusion ;-) I had to check that I wasn't going mad first though! So neither of us are, which is a relief as sometimes I do wonder about myself.
