The Garden in June

 

I have already posted about the main border, roses and wildflower border, so here are some different pictures of the garden. The one above is taken through the living room window. On the very far left is the spiraea japonica.

The hypericum below has more flowers than last year.

These dianthus were grown in pots last year 

These cosmos were grown from seed in a tray and now out near the dwarf wall.

Then these wallflowers were from the garden centre. Fortunately, they are a dwarf variety.

 

I had to cut back the campanula that had grown over the path by the conservatory.

At the front, these geraniums are quite happy with very little sun.

The Hydrangea macrophylla looked sorry for itself a few weeks ago. But suddenly it has perked up and has those lovely flowers.

The Acanthus next to the dwarf wall has thrown up these flower spikes. But boy, are they prickly. It does need water to survive.

Next, a photo of the far end of the garden with the wildflower border on the left, the hypericum on the right and the mock acacia towering above at the back.

Finally, I must have put down too much of the Pro Kleen Grass Green lawn fertiliser granules, as the grass has grown far too lush. It needs cutting every three or four days, and I collect four boxes from the lawnmower each time. Along the dwarf wall border are the antirrhinum Madam Butterfly bedding plants.
