A garden in June


Some pictures of my garden:


Geranium 'Johnson's Blue' with the white philadelphus peeping through






A bee visits



Carpet rose




Weigela



'Masquerade' rose




Welsh Poppy



This is a self-seeding poppy. I dead-head it every other day, cutting off the stems which have finished flowering. Then it throws out more and more flowers right until the first frosts. A modest but worthwhile little plant.

Awww what a beautiful garden! Reminds me of my grandparents place... when I get my own house with my own garden I do hope I can do it justice by finding the time to make it beautiful with plants, flowers and trees! I must say, your lawn loks magnificent and very healthy! My most hated labour is cutting the grass!!! It frustrates me so...

Thanks, princesse - must admit I can't take credit for the lawn - husband sees to that! but I'll pass on the compliment.
