GARDEN PICTURES

Here’s a peek in my garden, you can see how green everything is. The red flowers are crocosmia, also called montbretia. The picture of the red flowers under this text are a closer look at the crocosmia.

This is part of our front garden, I used to have more plants there but it was getting too much so we covered the front garden with small stones and a few very big ones. Now I have decorated it with a big pot of hardy fuchsia’s and I am going to plant rock garden plants to cover the small stones in time.

A few minutes later it was pouring with rain.

This is a parking we have in front of our house.

Same parking a few moments later.

Have a great week and take care ! Enjoy your garden whenever you can.

A FEW RECENT GARDEN PICTURES

My garden is suffering at the moment, it has been hot and dry for quite a while now, not a drop of rain and my garden is not used to this sort of weather, I water my garden once every 2 or 3 days for as long as we are alloud to do so, some provinces in my country already have heavy water restrictions. I managed to take a few pictures of plants who still look good. A lot of plants and bushes have scorched leafs and look tatty.
