Summer Sun, Autumn Alterations,

Winter Wonderland 2005

There was plenty of colour in the garden this summer. The bowl of rhodohypoxis  was spectacular, the ‘Mediterranean area’ looked healthy, with plenty of tadpoles in the pool, the borders were bursting and the frog trio went on playing – this time a small audience had begun to gather.

A few close-ups

By Autumn we decided the Kilmarnock willows were getting too big for their area so they were carefully dug out and were replaced by the smoke bush and hebe from in front of the conservatory. The view from above shows how overcrowded the garden looked

We finished up with a more open area which was filled with winter pansies and Spring bulbs

Dahlias did really well this summer and autumn

Just after Christmas we had our first snow and by this time Christmas figures had been added.
