MY GARDEN IS LUSH AND GREEN

What with all the rain we have been having for many months my garden looks lush and green now, most flowers are far behind.

On the left you see a viburnum, on the right is my rosa guirlande d’amour

In the back you see my goatsbeard, it is not in bloom yet, the garden geraniums (macrorrhizum) are performing well.

The biggest green spot is from viburnum tinus, on the right is a laurel, on the left you see a bit of my syringa meyeri, a small lilac bush.

This is sedum spurium, winterhardy and makes a lovely green carpet.

This is our pond, completly overgrown, the plants just exploded, they seem to love all the rain.

Another garden geranium, geranium sanguineum, a small geranium that performs well.

They are not expecting good weather any time soon, the snails are having a party every night, for me that is the biggest worry, they have ruined a lot of my seedlings. But there are worse problems in the world, I feel for the people who’s house and everything in it is ruined, for the people who are trying to survive in the many wars all over the globe, who lost their kids and relatives….

Take care and enjoy your garden.

A FEW RECENT PICTURES

We have a weird Summer this year, the temperatures go up slowly to about 30 C° and then go down again to about 20 C° and then up again, once in a while we get rain or a storm. I am not complaining, I just think it is weird. When you see what is happening all over the world with fires and floods, extreem high temperatures and severe draughts I think we are the lucky ones.

This is the view when you park on our drive way. The bricks you see are from the garage, it has small leafed ivy growing on the walls. On the right you see one of my apple trees, on the left you have the fig tree, the pink flowers belong to the Albizzia jullibrissin . On the right behind the garage is my elder tree. And the green leafs at the back belong to the cherry laurel (prunus Laurocerasus). I love this view, gives me a bit of a jungle feeling.

One of the bird houses in the ivy.

A closer look at the Albizzia julibrissin , also called silk tree. What is not to love ?

As I still can’t walk longer than about 10 minutes I can’t go out to take pictures elsewhere

Have a great weekend, I hope you are all ok.
