Pottering Along

One of my favourite places to spend Sunday!

Roses @ Brabourne Farm

The roses are very late but are certainly worth the wait .... it's just so lovely to smell their perfume through the garden and the house. 

PS A few of you have asked what the pink roses are .... on the columns at the front of the house are Pierre de Ronsard and the others in these images are David Austin.

In the Garden @ Brabourne Farm

 

After what seems like the longest winter ever, summer has finally arrived .... warm/hot mornings and afternoon thunderstorms .... the perfect growing weather!  Today's jobs - plant tomato seedlings (the new trellis was installed yesterday), weed the new perennial border, hedge trimming, mowing, plant peonies .... garden heaven! 

Early Spring @ Brabourne Farm

Spring is slowly starting here at Brabourne Farm - the days are getting longer, the pear trees and crabapples are flowering, the air smells sweet and the sound of birdsong is everywhere.  This truly is the most wonderful time of year!

My tulips are not there yet, but they look promising

...very happy

Herb "Garden"

Yesterday I planted my "Herb Garden", better to say small herb patch, but anyway it made me very happy. Only now my dishes will be delicious.
