Surprises
Anonymous greenery is starting to show it's colours. I looked skywards (come on rain, where are you!) and saw an enormous magnolia flower. Difficult to photograph. I hung out of the bedroom window but with no greater success. Never mind, I've spotted a couple of buds further down that I should be able to enjoy without difficulty.
Clematis tendrils weave through the planting.
I can see that the former owners liked strong reds and purples. This day lily has just come into flower and is a lovely splash of colour.
Himself has been busy restoring a rusty garden seat.
I'm missing the home grown fruit and veg that I've known for many years and my much-loved roses. But this little cutting of Raubritter has settled in well, and so, all things considered, have I.

I am really enjoying your new garden and wonder whether other colours will appear as the seasons change. I know that at certain times of the year my garden turns mainly purple. That garden seat looks interesting. Do you have a growers market or market gardens where you can buy fresh vegetables?
ReplyDeleteThere is a good fruit and veg shop nearby but it isn't the same as growing my own! I've yet to discover a growers market - that would be good.
DeleteThat kind of surprise is the best!
ReplyDeleteI imagine the restored garden seat will make for a beautiful spot in your garden to sit and read or enjoy a snack and cool drink.
The seat will need a cushion if I'm to sit there for long!
DeleteNice garden seat. Nice flowers too!
ReplyDeleteThe seat certainly looks a lot better with the rust treated and a lick of paint.
