A rich tapestry

Our garden in August


View over the gardens at the back of our house.

We've had some more spectacular rainbows recently.
One minute it's sunny and the next there are rain showers.

However, that's good for the plants and our flower beds
continue to look colourful. 

There's not much room for a glasshouse. Mt husband has one
 in the allotment, but I decided I would like to get him a small,
plastic version. Thankfully, it came in a flat pack
so it was a complete surprise on the special day 
and it kept the boys busy for a while putting it up!




My husband grows some of his tomatoes against the wall, but they have yet to ripen up.


The tomatoes in the covered yard are colouring up.
This is just one corner of the yard which is stuffed full
of vegetables in pots.

Here are some of the late Summer flowers.
Only the poppies have finished blooming.
