The garden is lush

I love this time of year when everything in the garden is really lush. The veg plot is really getting going now.

The veg plot is coming on

The potatoes on the left of the plot are growing really fast.

geraniums

The geraniums are just starting to go over but I love to see them in the sun.

Forget me not

This is a perennial with forget me not like flowers and foliage rather like a hosta. The flowers have started to go over but I also love the way this looks in the sun. Once it has flowered the leaves continue grow and come into their own.

Every part of the garden is full to bursting

Cornflowers

I love the unusual colours of these pretty cornflowers.

London pride

London pride are another of my favourites.

Flox

I love the way the flox drifts through the succulents.

Hosta

The hosta pots look amazing.

Amazing contrast

I don’t remember what this shrub is called but I love the strong contrast of it’s foliage compared to the plants around it.

Even the chicken run is starting to flower.

The rose in the chicken run is in bud

This is just getting ready to flower and I will photograph it again when the buds open.

This shrub in the chicken run is in flower

I don’t remember what this shrub is called either but I chose it for it’s umbrella like shape keeping it above the height that the girls can destroy.

I wonder if the girls appreciate the garden’s beauty too.
