A Photo a Day
26.07.08
I noticed that the photo hunters theme for today was hanging! Well the hanging baskets were out to greet me in all their glory thid morning!
See what others have done here
I think Ella likes the new colour I have painted the bench and seats!
The tubs on the kitchen patio are also blooming lovely! LOL!
This is our drive.
The dry stone wall is one of my very own projects.
The large tree by the gate is a huge sycamore.
Due to the shade it creates we are limited as to what we can grow.
The ivy is a wonderful cover but over the years I have cleared the wall, originally it was covered in grass. I have used succulants which seem to love the conditions.
We cant plant a great deal at the top as the horses in the neighbouring field pop their heads over and eat them. It is nice however when they come for their morning apples.

Here you can see the lovely colours of the plants.
The cows took all of the morning in their stride!
I really enjoy our garden and will share some more later, but these are the areas I have been working on of late. Today, weather permitting I will finish off painting the garden furniture, tidy up the patio and tie up and secure my tomatoes.
Jon is working today so I will just potter!
As ever, the weather here is misty so we will just have to see what tomorrow brings.
Hopefully we will get up to Durham on the motorbike, but we'll just have to see.
The Gardener's Morning
The robin's song at daybreak
Is a clarion call to me.
Get up and get out in the garden,
For the morning hours flee.
I cannot resist the summons,
What earnest gardener could?
For the golden hours of morning
Get into the gardener's blood.
The magic spell is upon me,
I'm glad that I did not wait;
For life's at its best in the morning,
As you pass through the garden gate.

Those are beautiful flowers! :)
Hi Denise, thanks for comment on myh blog...how did you find me???
Love your photos, the flowers look wonderful
Funnily enough I started watching the bikes the other day with Valentino Rossi..MotoGP..looks good.
A very colourful and summery start, Denise. Very cheering, though for once this month it is a glorious morning here and Stephen has ridden off to Letterkenny to buy a new helmet.
i wish i can grow beautiful flowers like that...they are just so pretty.....
good shot!
Pearl - happy hunting!
Beautiful wall it looks like it should be on a post card! Kim
Love your drive. Such richness of colour.
Hanging baskets are the best places for nasturiums! Very pretty though.
And I love dry stone walls.
I love nasturtiums (stop me if you've heard this before!) and your baskets are beautiful. So are your tubs.
That wee wall is a great project, and you've got it looking really pretty. Well done.
Great hanging basket. Super colorful.
I really love all the flowers in the nooks and crannies of the wall. I'll bet they are your pride and joy.

A colourful choice for the theme. Thank you for sharing.
Love all your flowers and the kitty. But esp love the stone wall. Love Hugs and Blessings
I love how you Potter around. Your flowers are so bright and cheery.
I am going to post my Wednesday ABC post on the other blog tomorrow. We will be gone all week and I didn't want to miss posting. Sorry but its the only way I can do it this time.
What beautiful baskets and I love how you've added in the succulents to your rock wall along the drive. You live in such a picturesque spot and I can hardly wait to visit. :D

And you have such a beautiful garden and I love the cows..what a great place to live...
Your plants are beautiful. Storms have taken much of the color on mine (beating off the pretty blooms).
It's great to have a day to just potter, your wall is looking very good right now, well worth all the effort.
Pottering...you can't beat it!! Your garden is looking spectacular.
Beautiful flowers and a beautiful garden. How far away from Durham are you? I was brought up in Bishop Auckland, so it was only a 20 minute drive to Durham. It's a lovely city.
Beautiful garden and beautiful poem.
Beautiful plants. I don't have much of a green thumb.
(I did photo hunt this week to, so stop in if you have time)
oh so lovely I'm drinking it al in - a plant passionate person am I ..sandy
Love all your photies, not just the hanging basket one you picked got the PH. As soon as your page opened I KNEW it was the UK. I was only just there in Mar/April visiting my Mum and fam, but I miss it all the time. Thanks for the rush of "home' feeling I got!
