  1. The bottom of the garden. Confusingly, the garden slopes *up* towards the bottom.
    Bottom left the pond. The brick construction on the right is what we call the folly. Bees, other insects, birds and pond dwelling individuals love it. So do I.
    Planted to feel and look natural, wild, full and overflowing. Weeds a.k.a. wildflowers are welcome.

  2. Colourburst on a grey, drizzly day in this corner of a border:
    Blue flowering lavender and the last blue delphiniums, golden grasses, white Cenolophium denudatum, red and yellow Gaillardia aristata, yellow Rudbeckia hirta, yellow self sown evening primrose, purple seedheads on a self sown Lunaria annua (honesty), purple stems on the Selinum wallichianum, a few of the last Marguerites, green foliage.

  3. As I said before, happiness is an overflowing garden. Here, the paved path from the patio to the pond is becoming almost impassable. As I walk, the plants grab me and touch my skin. Beautiful!
    Again - Good: Walk barefoot.
    Better: Barefoot + bare arms and legs.
    Best: Shed your clothes altogether if your garden is sufficiently private.
    Heightens your senses, brightens the dullest day and banishes gloomy thoughts.

  4. Happiness is an overflowing garden. At this time of the year, I cannot walk through the garden without the plants grabbing me and touching my skin. The garden is overflowing, difficult to navigate, easy to lose yourself in and hide from everyone else. Beautiful!

    Better: Barefoot + bare arms and legs.

  5. Exciting: Discovered a new wildflower in the garden, which I think we never had before. It appears to be a Pyramidal orchid, Anacamptis pyramidalis.
    Another individual, who arrived on the wind and decided to stay.
    Apparently native and widespread in England and Wales. A favourite with butterflies and moths.

  6. About time I posted something new: A perfect illusion of summer bliss.
    The border in the foreground is problematic: What I plant does not do particularly well and what I think should not be there is thriving. Just as well that I have learned not to argue with nature: It is beautiful, it’s natural and I could not have planned (and planted) it better.

  7. This was special: Witnessed a White Ermine moth emerging from its shell this afternoon.
    It is white with small black dots on wings and body. Appeared to have an orange face and fluff on the top of its head.
    According to Butterfly Conservation, it is common in the UK, though I have never seen one before. Found, they say, in most rural and urban habitats … gardens, hedgerows, grassland, heathland, moorland, woodland and on the coast.
    They are not fussy about food and like Common Nettle and docks, both of which we have in the garden.
    Would not show me his face, unfortunately, when I got the camera.

  8. Part of the garden by the side of the house. Used to be a bare, utilitarian strip with only the tree, shrubs and hedging. I then transformed it into something more appealing over the course of three or four years. Wildflower mounds towards the back.
    In the centre of the photograph, the bigger of our two Angelica archangelica (Garden angelica).
    They are biennials but, curiously, in their third (!) year.

  9. I love this entirely wild patch at the front of the garden. Everything, apart from the shrubs, is self-sown (or was already here when we bought the house). I do not do anything apart from cutting it down once a year in late autumn. At the moment, the #bluebells are flowering.
    Unlike the rest of the garden it is visible from the road. I am certain that some uninspired people think it is an uncared-for weed patch.

  10. Comfrey in the stumpery. Sourced from a drift of self-sown comfrey elsewhere in the garden.
    The bees love it but they were camera shy. I overheard them talking: “Oh. it’s him again with this thing that goes click. Looks like a giant eye. Very suspicious. Better wait and come back when he’s gone”, they said.

  11. Been busy all last week cutting down the borders. With the temperatures on the up, I reckoned that everybody is out now of their winter quarters in stems and seedheads.
    The photograph is of the middle third of the #garden, viewed across. Behind the camera is the greenhouse, a little more space and a tall hedge.
    Later in the year, this area is filled with tall, flowering #perennials, ornamental #grasses and #wildflowers - you cannot see from one side to the other. It is beautiful, undisciplined and overflowing with nature.
    At this time of the year it is just flat. I am anxiously waiting to see what will come back.
