GARDEN GLIMPSES 21

The first weekend in July arrived and I took the following shot to show the passionflowers and clematis outside the front door. A week later I took another shot of the view from the doorway, looking down the garden path.

The above shot is of four plants my friend gave me from her garden. I was worried about having to clear too much of my wildlife inspired overgrowth and decided to make a friendship patch using plants friends had given me to do so and these are what she gave me. As you can see in the next shot, they are sited next to my mint/chives.

This shot shows that I have been taking action clearing the yard. It ended up that I needed to clear the back end and this shot shows about half of the stuff I cleared. Yes folks, my Dad the super hoarder did not only store a load of junk in the house I inherited, but in the yard at the very back...

In the front yard, a scene of contrast was erupting as the usually darker roses burst into a show of pale pink second flowering. This brightened up the yard considerable, as the aquilegias and azaleas are done flowering.
