Delicate colour of Aquilegia





















Glorious weather has been encouraging all the plants to grow and flower. .... including weeds! Lupins, Aconitums and Nepitas in the Walled Garden are in full bloom, giving a lot of colours there. We planted Dahlias out today as well. Head Gardener is changing the colour scheme slightly from the last year so I am looking forward to seeing it in full in late summer, just before I have to go away.

The other day, I was weeding out some Oxalis and here is a picture to show you why it is very difficult to get rid of them completely – you have to dig up all these bulblets. If you leave some, they will regrow!

Wisteria is looking beautiful and the air is filled with scent – I actually don’t enjoy some of Wisteria’s scent but bees are loving it.

Most of cuttings we took last autumn / winter are growing happily.
