My Little Garden 25th June 2022 Just for a change, I thought I’d venture into the front garden with the camera again this week. It doesn’t happen often because it’s a relatively small space and not really interesting enough to warrant too much attention for Six on Saturday. However, the…

My Little Garden 18th June 2022 There was a bit of a heatwave in the last couple of days, and I had to spring into action with the watering duties again. Every year, I wonder why I bother with pots, which obviously need the most water, and take up the…

My Little Garden 11th June 2022 It’s Thursday afternoon and as it’s raining again (contrary to the BBC forecast), so I’m sorting out photos in ‘my little office’ rather than putting this morning’s plant purchases into ‘my little garden’.

My Little Garden 14th May 2022 There’s a little bit of a clue to my Six on Saturday this week in the header shot. Korean lilac, geranium, clematis, azalea, geum and a very tough weigela. So if you’re short on time, you can stop reading now. In a week when…

My Little Garden 07th may 2022 I was very relieved on returning from a trip to Scotland last weekend, to find that all was well in the garden. Younger son, with a little help from enthusiastic granddaughters, had done an excellent job with the watering duties, and not only did…

My Little Garden 22rd April 2022 I hope you like tulips because there might be one or two of them featuring in my choice of six again this week. Most are at their peak now, although a few are lagging behind, and there have been some interesting results from my…
