Front Garden

Check out my sweet peas! These are self-sown from some planted in previous years. 




The front garden is looking particularly fabulous right now. I'm so happy to have discovered Dianthus and have been busy planting out all sorts of different varieties; they really have done very well so far. Now they just need to prove themselves over summer, eek! The rose  on the right is Strawberry Hill (a David Austin), going into its second summer now and looking amazing. The blasted heat really did come at the worst time to spoil a great deal of the first flash of roses.

Phase Pink

I blame my daughter, the pink-obsessed five year old, for putting me on to the joys of pink! 


Agastache 'Sweet Lili'
Salvia 'Sensation'
Salvia 'Angel Wings'
Salvia 'Navajo Rose'
Salvia 'Raspberry Royal'
Dianthus 'Nola'
And Anthemis tinctoria 'EC Buxton,' which is not pink, for luck!
