Midsummer Garden


This morning I took the camera for a walk round our small and untidy garden.My lodger Radek who is Czech but has a Polish Mum says our garden looks like Poland !


It is full of flowers at the moment and humming with bees!

The bees love the marjoram, rue and fennel as well as the poppies and cornflowers.

This is what happens when you throw seed selections about!

This is a quiet corner

This little olive tree came from a visit to The Eden Project a few years ago,it has put out new leaves and it looks as though  small flowers are coming.



Blousy!

The guardian of the garden who sees all the nightly comings and goings of hedghogs, moths mice and other creatures who visit in the darkness.

    Your garden isn`t untidy. It looks relaxed, natural and beautiful! Just what the bees need.

    Your olive tree is doing well. It must like the mild Cornish climate.

    Your garden is enchanting. I love all the plants and the green man. (At least that's what we call him, the green man or the leaf man)I also love the wall in your photo. Stone walls are so interesting.

    Thanks for visiting and becoming follower of my blog, that has given me the chance to visit yours and discover your very beautiful blog, I share many of your interests such as Carl Larsson painter (I love his paintings) and I have tried to become a follower of yours but I haven't been able, I don't know if there is some problem. My best regards for you,
