Lawns raked by Ryan ago, [April 24-5] now for aerating and fertilizer. Lawns, front and back, look in good shape. End of April |
June 14 quite the change! |
The roses in bloom picture from 2016, so the roses must have been planted earlier than that. Unfortunately they deteriorated, both in appearance and increasing appearances of 'black spot'. It was decided we would cut tjem down to ground level. A change of heart occurred and we are now encouraging base growth..and they are. growing. |

| 2020-06-18: These are views of the garen taken in the last couple of days. The garden does not vary much! The plants are the good old standbys that survive our winters. That's not a plant in the last photo...that's Elizabeth getting her hands dirty in the garden, with her doggie companion GeeGe. |

I am not going to name the plants, unless under threat of death! I thoughtr I would merely take photos of the early arrivals. These were all in bloom prior to June 30thy. We have had lots and lote of rain. Two weeding parties were arranged with the Tyler ladies and their Mum, both cancelled because of the heavy rain. The roses; it seemed they were in bud and then we actually had two days of hot waether and low and behold, they were in full bl;oom. No roses were lost over winter. The roses by the garage are growing like weeds, as if to say, 'you can't get rid of us that quickly'. I do want to see how they turn out and where the flowers will appear |
