A Very Different Year

This time last year, were covered in snow with temperatures well below freezing. Our newly planted back garden had nothing to show for itself

It all looks a bit different this year. We lost just one plant after the long hard winter, and the wet summer and mild autumn has meant things have kept on growing and kept on flowering

The list of plants still flowering includes Astilbe, Penstemon (many different ones), Lupins, Lavender, Heather, Astrantia, Heuchera

Kaffir lily
Fuchsias

And the prize has to go to Nelly Moser!


Not to mention the Hebes, Cyclamen, Pansies etc. Which you really would expect to still be going. I must try to remember to look back this time next year!
