The Garden in May and June


I'm starting with my favourite flower. This is Astrantia Roma. The original plant is suffering in poor soil at the far end of the main border. Last year I took out a couple of roots and replanted in better soil where they are now flourishing.


The lilac rose by the side patio has never flowered as well as this.


The Weigela is always beautiful in May


As is this unusual Lilac with tiny flowers in groups.


The Aliums have been great, especially alongside the Papaver.


The Clematis doesn't last long, but it does break up the wall at the side of the house.


The Delphiniums have been exceptional.


The Hostas have done much better in their pots. This year I forgot to split them but it hasn't done them any harm.


Just behind the Hostas is a Philadelphus that that has recovered after the new fence went in.




Just two of the roses that are all doing well.


To finish on another Astrantia, this time Snow Star.
