View of the house from the shady Hosta Bed.

The 'new' summerhouse located in the Hosta Bed.

With all the rain and warmth, this Summer, the sweetcorn is growing well. Our sneaky preview, was rather tasty too!

The front garden is being 'laid' out, manured, box hedge, ready for those bare rooted roses, arriving in October!

There will be four new double borders spaced around the old lime tree. This one, at the bottom of the garden, will have a white theme, to reflect light at the bottom of the garden.

The two beds either side of the tree will have a purple and lilac colour theme, with a splash of red at one end to lead into the firey red bed.
