    Purple sage

    Variegated sage - variegations not showing much, yet.

    In the greenhouse
    This flower got so long and heavy that it has broken - but still partially attached

    This is one of our many 'haven't the faintest' - I suppose I could ask Mrs Shiney what it is

    It has been snowing Laburnum flowers

    The Bee Orchids in our wild garden are just showing (a couple of weeks early). They're difficult to see at the moment

      Garden visiting

      The gentleman who owns this garden is in his eighties (a guess, with a possible apology) and wins prizes each year for his produce. The path on the right of this picture is his neighbours'. As you can see, it's not particularly wide but he makes the most of it.

      P1420422.JPG

      The back garden is the same width and about twice the length and he makes the most of it. It's divided into a number of small 'rooms'.

      P1420427.JPG

      Much taller than ours!
      P1390622.JPG

      bags of spuds!
      P1390621.JPG

      This is growing against his shed and is a lovely multi-coloured rose. @wiseowl any idea what it is? I wouldn't mind one in my garden.

          What a lovely garden. I adore the idea of different “rooms”. I might do that in our front garden.

            Pretty pleased with how the back garden is working out. A few bits to do still but getting there.

                              Upsy, first came across lupin aphid....an American aphid I think....a few years ago. A completely different sort of creature from our own aphids. A spray in early spring, the same
                              I use for lily beetle, is enough to protect lupins. A soap based insecticide works well :)
