A JUNE AMBLE

Thanks, Anthony, that's real compliment As I said earlier it's not to everyone's taste but I like it.

 

Glad you like it, Rosebay. It makes me feel relaxed and content when sitting somewhere in it with a mug of tea or a glass of Red.

 

Hi Joolz, I think you mean the Jerusalem Sage [Phlomis fruticosa]

 

Thanks, Beckie, I'm glad you like it. Yep, there's lot of birds that have nested in the garden. I have around 5 pairs of Blackbirds and Thrushes in the two main Conifers, Tits nesting in various shrubs, with Sparrows etc living just about everywhere. There's also three resident Hedgehogs ambling around the Compost Heap and borders that show up every now and then. At the front of the House is a 35 year old Pyracantha which has so many birds and nests in it the neighbours call it Hotel Pyracantha The old gate was just falling apart hence the lopsided look and has reached the stage of needing major repair. No doubt in a couple of years it will be just as lopsided as before.

 

It's an interesting plant to be sure, Jool. In the pic it's actually in a clump of three but the other two are to the rear. Then there's another clump of 3 or 4 nearby in the main walkaround border.

 

Fabulous, natural looking, garden.

@Lorea, I didn't think he drank so much!!!!

 

If you're coming down this way at any time I can dig you up some of it. It grows rampant in our garden (as does everything else ).
