I'll be back with more garden pictures once I've actually done some gardening...
Well, it hasn't stopped raining, but I found these pictures I took from before we visited Fay, so these will have to do. As you can see, the willow hedge is getting nicely out of control and wild. Our little seating area is what you might describe as 'lush', but certainly not 'tamed'. There also seems to be a colander full of old broken mugs in the corner there. Still, there are plenty of flowers around the place right now, which is pleasing me greatly, as I have planted precisely none this year, so these are all either perennial or self-seeded, which is just the type of flower I approve of in my garden. Independent, doesn't need mollycoddling. I'm much more inclined to sit about looking at pictures of other people's gardens. I did buy these giant poppies. I'm pretty sure they have an actual name, but they've always been giant poppies to me. I've got a spot marked out in the garden for them, and will plant them if it ever stops raining (did I mention how much it's raining?) Everything else in the garden has just arrived here all by itself this year. I'm especially pleased with these alien flowers (again, I'm pretty sure they have a real name, but I can't quite remember what it is). They're not quite flowering yet, but when they do, they're quite a sight. I bought them as seeds from the fabulous Higgledy Garden a couple of years ago, and now they're popping up all over the garden. Most pleasing. Hop over to the Higgledy Garden website to see what other people's flowers are doing, and maybe even order some of your own. Oops, I'd forgotten I'd bought these jolly purple wallflowers too, nicely framing one side of the door. If you look closely, you'll see a rogue potato in there too. They seem to have sneaked in everywhere, possibly as a result of my lazy composting skills. Oh well, I'm never going to say no to an accidental harvest.
