Going on a jolly

3 years ago we went to a local garden open day. The garden is open again today, so we are off to see how it has developed in that time.

Late waking up, so a slow start, we had melon for a change from our usual orange and pineapple.

Its a bright but very breezy morning, the sun keeps coming and going, we have not had any of the forecast rain, thunder etc, so it will be watering again tonight.

We are looking at may be dividing the garden up into two bits, I would like to put a low picket fence and wooden arch in to divide the top part of the garden off. Also thinking about putting another path in. We will see, winter is coming and will give me time to mull things over.

Supper tonight gammon, roast potatoes and courgette, peas. More raspberries for dessert.

Pictures of the garden, very much as we remembered it, one or two things had changed.

I like to grow clematis like this too.

Fabulous red dahilas

A new white bed

Lettuce anyone?

Someone else grows sweet peas like me.

A very green corner, the seed heads are from alliums.

Fabulous coloured lily, no scent though.

Hostas along the side of the greenhouse.

Massive sunflower.

Alstroemeria I do love them but they are expensive to buy the bulbs.

Not sure if this is an aloe vera

Waterlily.

After the walk round the garden, coffee and cake on the patio.

Thats it folks for this time, needless to say as if I do not have enough plants I came away with five more and the name of a sweet blue clematis.
