GARDEN GLIMPSES 19


Here is a shot of the front yard, taken the second week in May. As you can see it too is a bit of wilderness amidst a village in natural decline. As the council steal more country from our countryside village, I turn more built up area back to nature. SOMEONE has to care more for wildlife than human pleasure.

I have the pretty yellow poppies flowering, along with grape hyacinths and a single bluebell. I am not sure how the bluebell arrived in the front yard - wind or bird no doubt are responsible. Sea-bells, aquilegias, dandelions and flowering weeds all grow together in peace here, circling the pieris tree which is currently yellowing.




This shot shows the back yard again - and the area where lily-of-the-valley are begining to bud and bloom. It will be a day or two before enough are flowering to scent the air, however.




We move on to summer months, and as June began I took some photos of the yards' progress. The first were of the large fluffy yellow roses, which were the first to bloom this season. The next photo is of the olde fashioned pale pink rose in the back yard near the patio - along with some blue weed-flowers and bird poops.




A shot of the 'overgrown mess' of my wildlife-loved back yard shows the foxgloves now flowering.
