Colour in the Garden
Just some photos of some of the flowers that are currently out in the garden. And one of the Alium border which is looking as though it could put on a good show this year.

Mother’s Day Weekend and Spring is in the Air
The weekend turned out quite nice in the end. After a fairly damp camp with the Scouts up at Devil’s Bridge on Friday night, the sun came out on Saturday and temperatures reach 17.3ºC, the hottest day of the year so far. A First Time for Everything I spent the afternoon cleaning cars and working...
A Day in the Garden
Following our walk along the beach in order to complete the Earth Cache at Ynyslas it was time for a day working in the garden. Winter has certainly taken its toll on the garden, the crazy storms, record breaking winds and flood have all had an impact and the garden has only just started to...
Is that the Spring that I See?
I don’t think anyone would deny that we’ve had a fairly awful winter so far this year. It hasn’t been cold yet, but it’s just been wet, windy and miserable. There does seem to be hope on the horizon though. There’s a brief respite in the stormy weather today, the wind has gone and it isn’t raining at...
Getting Rid of Moles
Our entire garden seems to have been taken over by burrowers. Does anyone have any good techniques for getting rid of moles? The garden was looking a little neglected anyway as our lawn-mower is broken and I’ve had very little time to work on the garden lately, but the moles have certainly not helped. In...
A Visit to Hampton Court Castle, Herefordshire
On our way home from our flying visit to a family party in Gloucestershire, we stopped of at Hampton Court. No, not Hampton Court Palace in London, but a Hampton Court Castle and gardens not far from Leominster in Herefordshire. We decided not to pay the extra to visit the castle as we can save...
Glamping in the Garden
We have visitors coming this weekend – Well, actually they are arriving Sunday night for a couple of days. It’s my Sister Trudi, her boyfriend Mike and he children Kia an Shaun. As we only live in a small(ish) bungalow we don’t have huge amounts of room for them, mainly because one of our bedrooms...
Pontrhydfendigaid Open Garden, Snorkeling and a Carnival Queen
I’d like to say that yesterday was day 22 of summer, but although temperatures were still up into the low 20’s and when the sun came out it was lovely, there were quite a few heavy showers around and things were feeling a lot less summery than they were. Typically this is often the case...
Pontrhydfendigaid Open Gardens
Just thought I’d promote this as it sounds like a really good idea for the weekend. Not only will we get to have a nose around other peoples gardens but we’ll be donating to Wales Air Ambulance at the same time. Hopefully some of the gardens that will be open will be ‘normal’ gardens as well rather...
Garden Flowers in July
As we got to actually enjoy the garden a little over the weekend I thought I’d share some of it with you.
