Summer garden photos

The weather is still a bit grey and rainy today, but I went out and took some garden photos anyway as it is looking nice.

 It is a riot of colour and everything looks so healthy out there.


Looking back at the house past the inferno of runner beans.


The new bed. It has done very well, although the nasturtiums are slightly past their best. They will look better when the next flowers come.The foxgloves were at their peak 2 weeks ago but I still like the long green seed stems.


Giant daisies always make me smile.

  1. what a beautiful garden you have created. I live in east Anglia and pretty much everyone here is struggling with beans this year. Yours are an absolute riot.

  2. Unless you want your whole garden awash with foxgloves, cut the seed stems off before they burst and you end up with flying foxgloves.

    When we had the allotment I allowed a stem to go to seed, we had hundreds of seedlings the next year in the weirdest places!! I could have set up a market stall and sold them.

  9. Wish my garden was colourful like yours. My veg growing doesn`t do too well either this year. My runner beans are totally blackfly infested, but my curly kale does alright.
    Due to early bad weathers I have no tomatoes or cucumbers, but the courgettes are ok. I`m not much of a flower gardener, much prefer anything I can grow that`s eadable.

  10. I only recently discovered your blog but was drawn in and read just about every post. The single handed transformation of your cottage is nothing short of an inspiration. If I could have a garden half as lovely as yours I'd be a very happy man.
