Flowers in the garden

Got a new camera recently and it's a bit of a drizzly day so...



A few more behind the cut.

Am gardening on a Welsh mountainside terrace with a sea view, which I'm guessing means a lot of salt in the air (it certainly means a lot of wind). Gardening is a bit hit and miss up here. The fuschia died down in the winter snow and I wasn't sure it would come back. Fruit seems to struggle, herbs are doing well, roses intermittently do better than expected but the lupin keeps falling over! Marigolds will grow wild anywhere, no matter how many times you pull them up.

Next year, I'll probably be paying more attention to the "attracts slugs" warnings because I don't want to put pellets down.

I love fuschia too! When I was little, my grandma pointed out that they look like little ballerinas, and I can't unsee it even as an adult. :D

Yeah - I've had similar thoughts about them!
