The garden has been blooming with loads of colour. Since I took this photo, the poppies have already gone over and I now have seed saved for next year and to gift to others also.
This critter made me jump! I've got so many frogs in my garden - god knows where they come from as I have no water out there. But there are tonnes of them and they make me jump and squeal on a very regular basis.
The poppies have been so tall, they've been growing up into the Cercis.
In the back garden, the Passiflora has been rampaging over the pergola. And in the front garden, it's the Hydrangea that has taken over the walls.
Despite my neighbour's good intentions to cut back Auntie June's Hebe, it does look beautiful - on one side, which, luckily, is the side I see from my living room. And actually who cares what is happening on the ugly side that the neighbours see? (Picture of me for scale to show how tall the Hebe is!)
We had some excitement too when my neighbours on the right decided to put new fences up, which, of course, necessitated the old fences coming down. Luckily, over a couple of days only, so I had to be on constant alert to make sure that Finn didn't make a bid for freedom! It was interesting to see how much higher their garden is - this road is on a slope (hence the steps up to the front of the house), but there's a definite drop of at least two feet.
