Summer Garden
Not quite fully summer yet but the garden is looking nice this morning and our new shed fits in well. It would look even nicer if we could hide the telegraph poles.
Garden Pinks & Purples
Just some photos from the garden which seems to be going through it’s usual May Purple-Pink phase at the moment – That is if you ignore the burst of yellow from the poached egg plants.
Time for Gardening
The garden is beginning to take shape. I did a little more work on it at the weekend, but the jobs that need to be done still keep mounting up, I just don’t seem to be able to find the time for gardening at the moment. The plants don’t seem to mind though and things...

What started as a tiny little Aloe Vera plant about 18 months ago has turned into a monster. It’s huge, looking healthy and has now produced a pretty impressive looking flower spike.

Hellish Hill Reps

Goldfinches
Nice to see that my lack of work on the garden lately has it’s benefits. Goldfinches feasting on leftover seed heads.
