A Lark Ascending Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 (edited) Nothing like a good dousing to bring out the colour of a garden: The only thing edible in my garden are a few herbs and, eventually, some tomatoes. Though I might try some aubergines this year. (oh, and the plum tree and wild cherry tree - though I cut that back so far last autumn very little in the way of shoots have reappeared). Looks a bit forlorn. The first rose is just coming out - for some reason roses grow really well here, some of them continuing to flower as late as November.

Jazzjet Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 A photo of our garden in Cornwall ( South West UK ). My wife's the gardener - I'm just the (unpaid) labourer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Lark Ascending Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 Fancy swapping properties, Jazzjet? I'm sure Worksop would be perfect for you! That garden is gorgeous...and in just the place in the world where I want to be! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed that yesterday as well. No idea how that happened. It's the first photo I've posted so may have done something wrong. Anyone know how to make the image larger, like all the other photos?

I upload the ones I want to use on the web to Photobucket. You can change the sizes there and then just right click the url as you would an album sleeve.

A Lark Ascending Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 (edited) That works, Jazzjet. Much nicer to see the pictures straight away rather than clicking links etc. Don't know if it's just the angle of the shot or the lense but that garden looks huge!

The formal garden is about half an acre. We also have a small woodland which we are battling with nature to tame. We're part of the National Garden Scheme, where owners open their garden for charity. Our Open Day is June 19th which, luckily for our marriage, doesn't conflict with an England game in the World Cup! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WorldB3 Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 (edited) ^ Thanks, we had rain just about evert week this year in the Bay Area and everything went crazy. In March I had the worse allergies of my life and couldn't taste food for months but I guess it was all worth it.

A Lark Ascending Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 Can't compete with Jazzjet's Cornish Versailles but I thought these three were interesting showing 6 months in a suburban 'free jazz' garden: January, March and this morning.
