Another Picture Post



The garden is just so full of flowers. Here are some more pics for your pleasure.









Other news . . . a newt has moved into our pond, which, being full to bursting with tadpoles, is a bit like me moving into an Indian restaurant. In fact we may have to move out soon to make room for the many peppers and tomatoes taking up every available space in the house whilst Jack Frost finishes his work for the year.
I have Sprouting Broccoli, Cabbage and Brussels seedlings ready for their new home in the veg garden.
I've created a poor-man's Tree-Fern using a tree and a fern. More about this later.
Oh, and the Parsnips are doing fine, thanks.

Beautiful photography! The third shot down is especially breathtaking. Can't wait to hear about the poor-man's Tree Fern; I'm intrigued by the title alone. ;)

Can you imagine moving into an Indian restaurant? Mmmm...

Nice Pasque flower. I've never really looked at them at that angle.

Lovely photos. I particularly like the dicentra.

Shall have to make a note to plant forget-me-nots with dicentra for next year. So, not just a pretty post!

How lucky are you a newt, wow!!

Great photos of your floral blooms, thanks for sharing.

I liked the description of your blog-intentions very much. In my blog I always feel I'm drifting away from sowing and planting to observing, feeling and well - kind of thinking, too, (although sometimes muddled as in Chestnut & Time). So I'll follow your blog with interest! Britta

Hi Ian, how're you doing? Hope there's still room in the house for you and yours.

Ian said...

Hi Britta.
Your comment has made me think about what I'm trying to achieve here. Thanks. New post coming very soon!

Is the Wiz..... Hiya. Loads of room now, although the garden now resembles a jungle haha. Working on a post as we speak. Thanks!

Gardening can easily evolve into a reflective practice - I tend to spend hours looking at my plantings and thinking about what the seedlings have now become, as my daughters climb them.

Beautiful flowers. You are a very talented photographer.
