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.

March 10th 2012

After a bit of a break with updating the blog I felt inspired today with the lovely sunshine

Spring has arrived
Ladybird and Winter flowering Daphne


Robin, hungry as ever especially when there are fresh worms on the menu.




Male Blackbird happy to find some rotting cooking apples out for him.


Buzzard
I spotted three of these birds of prey soaring above the house
Naturally I wasn't going to catch all three in one shot but I am quite pleased with this one.



This variegated rhododendron was a birthday present from our son and his wife.
It has loads of buds, so I was keen to get it potted up.
This spot gets quite a lot of sun which should help the leaves to stay variegated.
