Cookies Corner!

These may interest Nutty!!! Thanks for the inspiration x





Improvised seed trays courtesy of Tesco ice-cream tubs with drainage holes drilled in!



everything coming along nicely - hydrangeas showing flower buds already.

More Bugle! I love blue flowers...



Ceanothus looking very scraggly after all the heavy rain and strong winds



Very proud of my viburnum - snowball bush!





Does anyone know how best to propogate this ? - I'd love a similar bush inside the main garden.

 

Mum had a hoster in her garden being eaten away by the slugs - I have rescued it and nurtured it and now....!



Part of the pavement jungle - choisia and some other shrub I don't know the name of (in berry)



First rose of summer.... don't know the variety but love the colour. Long and lanky as I have never pruned it - don't really know much about pruning roses. :confused:



Mahonia in berry too - I love the fact that you can get spring berries as well as autumn/winter ones...



A new border I weeded out and put in plants donated by mum - there is an hibiscus, innulas, lysmachia, day lillies, iris and a nice sedum. Plus some pulmonaria which are going to have to come out again and go in pots as the slugs are doing their worst again....



The established border - yes Nutty, I'm afraid the sumach suckers are still there - they make lovely foliage specimens when they are this size though - looks nice next to the acer!

 

More raindrops on alchemilla - mum has loads of this and she was threatening to compost the overflow! Anyone near Bristol or Bath want some alchemilla???!!!!



The mothership Sumach!!!!



Managed to just about catch my little blighters this time!

Housemartins at home!





My oleander looks like it may flower for the first time this year - it has taken many years to recover from me moving it from an overcrowded spot... they do quite well on the south coast but I think may be a bit tender further north????



And the eucalyptus just keeps on growing!!! :eek::o

 

excellent

 

Just caught up with this thread, thanks for sharing C/M. A garden full of interest :thumb:

 

You have some wonderful colour there Cookie, caught the martins then!:gnthb:
From your pic the of Oleander they look like last years flower stalks, but if it has't flowered they can't be.:cnfs:
