"It provides interest with many works in addition to a wide spectrum of plants, vegetables and colour."
The garden also got a special award of 'Magnificent."
A dry weather week has allowed me to catch up with my gardening. It is lovely to garden when the sun in shining.
I have been making a series of wreaths from natural materials experimenting using different plants.
Wreaths for the gate into the Artful Garden.

I am picking raspberries almost every day.

| There is an excellent crop of raspberrries |
The apple tree is so heavily ladened that we have had to prop it up.

The sunflowers are starting to die back I am leaving the flower heads for the birds.

I love the cardoons.

| Doon yer think were great? |
We have had a slight frost but some of the nasturtiums have survived.

| Nasturtiums intertwined with the apples |

The monarda is still in full flower.

| Purple pincushions |
Look at the symmetry of the leaves.

A strange ladybird has appeared in the Artful Garden.
