The day dawns and wherever we look there's something new to see in the garden whether it's in the vegetable plot, the flower beds or the covered areas. The red peonies and the rose bushes come to mind when I look around. Our garden is relatively small so everything is crammed together especially in the flower beds.

Next to the greenhouse that's full of tomato plants and pots of plants ready to plant out a raised bed is planted up with potatoes, sweetcorn, garlic and cauliflower.
A water butt provides rainwater collected from a down pipe and the birds will appreciate the new bird bath.

It's good to see pollinators flying around. Ladybugs - in the UK they're called ladybirds - feed on the aphids that could potentially damage tender flower buds.
The amaryllis "Dancing Queen" has flowered for the fifth year.
This orange lily is putting on a bright display of flowers,
The covered yard is where I've hung the mirror on the storage cupboard door.
My favourite flowers are the foxgloves - especially the white ones - in the front garden.
In the back garden the rambling rose "White Star" which is full of flower buds will also be in bloom very soon.
Thank you for your visit. Have a nice day!
