Garden Snap Shots!

Blank page EM👍🏻, excellent job. . .Now the enjoyment really begins👏🏻👏🏻

We are getting our heads around the structural plants first.

The area with the large oak tree is about 40-50m long. We are looking at sowing wild grasses and planting up to a dozen fruit trees, along with a couple of walnut trees late this year. Once we know how it looks like we'll then go in with the flower meadow plants.

Not sure about the long fence area, possibly climbing roses and wisteria. 

The patio area, not shown, is calling out for a couple of multi stem Silver or Himalayan Ghost Birch. 

Very envious of your new garden eribamotters and would love to do a lot to that sort of garden, we are very dry and crispy here in the Lot, France and now in water restrictions just glad we still have some water in the water butts.

It is crispy in most of UK at present, but we are lacking in the lovely wine you have.

Good luck with your new garden plans Colin, I have a friend with a walnut tree in her garden, it's huge and although it was already there nothing much will grow near it...it does attract squirrels who pinch all the walnuts! 🐿

Thanks to Hosta Housey's photos a nice parcel arrived here today containing a "Lemon Light" salvia. Quite difficult to obtain even though we've seen it growing in various gardens. A nice strong plant from a nursery in Staffs. 

A lovely Salvia brue I have got that one  struggling a bit at this dry weather although they are good plants for the present weather conditions, have got one with orange flowers but it is not doing very well at all but hope it will pick up later in the year.

Yes EM we are in the dark red Malbec wine area here although I prefer rose now friends love the local red, perhaps I should get a photo of a local vineyard to put on here.

Although it is very dry here the wild Scabious are in full flower around the field amazing with no water on them at all.

Glad to be of help brue, if you have room try the other varieties. They are all very nice plants.

Wisteria flowering again for third time. Very unusual, anyone else had this happen 

I am GREEN with envy as my wisteria hardly had any flowers on at all this year and has never flowered more than once, any year.  I think that it is because by neighbours elder trees have grown too much and take a lot of the llight away from it.
