I am definitely more of an Autumn/Winter Quilter, as soon as the weather warms up, every spare moment during the day will find me in the Garden
Rescuing - these gorgeous rain damaged Peonies & Irises
Lamenting - The last of the Granny's Bonnets (Aquilegia) for this year
Building & Creating - This year's project is a nature pond, fingers crossed the frogs will move in 😁
Marvelling at all the flowers that reappear every year without fail, like this Snapdragon (Antirrhinum)
Watching all the bees on the Campanula
Smelling the Lavender
Harvesting the first of the Blackcurrants
Tay berries
and Gooseberries
Planting a new Hydrangea
while waiting for all the others to flower
Anticipating how beautiful this Philadelphus (Mock Orange) will be
When it is in full bloom like my neighbour's shrub
Enjoying these Clematis
Irises
Peonies
and the Foxgloves
BUT most of the time you will find me in the middle of here
Deadheading my beloved Old English Roses

ReplyDeleteElaine, I absolutely love your roses. They are stunning, after all the cold of winter, spending time in the garden and outside is bliss. We have to do our garden from scratch. So a lot of hard work and playing in the dirt. The reward is worth it. What variety roses do you grow? I have not planted any roses in this garden yet. Had many before in our garden. The fragrance of the roses are beautiful and always bring happy memories.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful thatched cottage, reminds me of Kent Uk. Your garden is stunning, what a beautiful walk 8n your garden l have had
ReplyDeleteYour garden is a vision splendid. So many beautiful blossoms to be seen. You have some gorgeous roses there. I don't think there is anything prettier than an English garden in Spring/Summer.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I am new to your blog but certainly did enjoy this! I am in the garden, too, as time permits and I love what Mother Earth sends our way each season. Thank you for sharing the beauty with us all. Chris
