May Highlights

It has been a busy few weeks despite the weather being not conducive to gardening.  

So here are some best bits from my garden captured on camera.

 

A cockchafer beetle (or Maybug) which I spotted walking up the drive,














the bluebells and cow parsley in the wood












in the wildflower hedge - the red champion,  













ox eye daisies 



and Hawthorn are in blossom;














the ex-guinea pig shed almost complete,


in the fruit cage - alpine strawberries flowering,














R. Madam Butterfly, 


and R. Canary Bird – I grow these as my maternal grandfather grew them in his garden in Stoneleigh (south London).




 










A few Sundays ago T and I had a stall at Hexham car boot sale, I took £88 in plant sales alone which is pretty good going.











I hope to see you again in the next few weeks; in the meantime make some time to enjoy your green space no matter how big or small.
