June garden............

The weather has been cool and so the garden does well. The flowers are all late but they thrive. I have taken a lot of pictures. The Deadly Nightshade is doing very well. I don't yet have the heart to destroy it, it's so pretty

The Honeysuckle next to it is still growing as is a Trumpet Vine but neither one are ready to take over.
Well this is the front path to the house. I am still working on the gardens out there.

The Geraniums are doing well too even though there is not a lot of sun of late. I liked this picture.

I put in a new Lily. I like it's paleness. When it first opened it was darker but the new flowers are pale again. I don't know if they will bloom again this year, the others in the garden have not bloomed yet

In the corner where we pulled out all the shrubs I am growing some Lavender in the big blue pot. Its doing so well too. I have that climbing Hydrangea and I still don't know where I want to plant it. I have found and planted some Garlic Chives in a pot and also a Cilantro. We shall see how they do in pots. I have previously planted herbs in the garden and they grow like weeds and take over. I am still pulling mint that was planted Donkey's years ago. Well as soon as I get some more pots the remaining plants will be pulled and potted. Laura wants some and I want to keep some but not in the garden. I did have some Sage but I planted it in its pot in the garden. That's doing well.

Under the Pine trees out front the Azaelia is thriving and thats where I put the pink lily. I also put one of my several old ploughs there. I think it complements them.


Along the side of the front path I have a path through the Pines to the side by the road. In that small garden I have roses. They have not done well but have come back again so will see how they do this year

The back garden is flourishing even with the dogs, cat and kids to do it in. It's a challenge. This is the path from garage/shed to the deck and back door.

Looking to the patio area from the garage/shed.

This is the garden behind the pond, looking to the patio and across to Buds house.

Coal skuttles are very useful. This one has some nettles in it and the other some Petunias.


Here is the other one with the Petunias and in the background you see an old cigarette stand with a plate on it to use for water for the birds and bees

There is much more to see but this is all for now. Enjoy my garden
