My changing garden


As promised the philadelphus is now at least half in bloom decorating the iron arch and working its way along the back fence Now the challenge will be to stop it dooing what it likes to do and spending the rest of the summer reaching for the skies. I have a tougher challenge getting this plant to do what I want than any other. It just wants to reach high - but if you keep it low you get the best benefit of the heady fragrance

Nice garden! I'm trying the same thing along an arch whit clematis but it's not growing as quickly as I envisioned.

@Captain Infact every time I wander in the garden I end up in the shed finding a tool to go out and fiddle with some details that are bugging me because they could be better

@Captain haha typical. We never sit still do we? Monty Don says we don't really sit and enjoy are gardens enough, we are always seeing something that needs to be done!

@JimboSaturn I think thats in the psyche of the "born" gardener. My wife fiddles with her model railway, I fiddle with the garden. We all have this inner need to create beauty and gardens and model railways certainly fulfil those needs

So here's how the years gone for those who haven't been following my garden. First the weeping cherry

I can tell you're a Brit with that garden.

Then the wisteria and lilac

Captain · 61-69, M
Then the other blossom tree

Captain · 61-69, M
and the rhodos, and azaleas

Captain · 61-69, M
And now the philadelphus and clematis

Captain · 61-69, M
Then the forsythia quince and fire bush
