Ours is a medium sized semi-suburban garden on the edge of open countryside in southern Hampshire. I have decided to write this blog and add relevant photographs throughout the year. It will be a record of what flowers, shrubs & trees we have and also of some of the visitors which come to feed and drink.
My Garden
Welcome to my garden blog; we have lived in this house for 32 years and the garden was virtually bare when we moved in. I think we had 2 Queen Elizabeth roses and some Rhubarb! The small front garden however had 9 huge clumps of orange Mombresia around the lawn's edge. We garden on heavy clay which is challenging but over the years we've worked out what works and what doesn't. The garden has been a playground for our three children over the years and we are not precious about it but we do know what we like. I hope you enjoy following it through the year.

April ~ Mistletoe seedling 1
Mistletoe seed taking root on our Bramley Apple tree. I can't believe this is actually working. The little green shoot will burrow into the bark to hold fast but it won't damage the tree. Hence this shoot is called a 'holdfast'.
