One of the nicest surprises we’ve had since moving into our new house is the garden. It’s not certainly not huge but it’s perfect for us in that it’s fairly mature and low maintenance. There’s thick rambling ivy, a brick wall and lots of wild stuff growing everywhere which gives it a real relaxed attitude that’s perfect for lazy gardeners like ourselves. And, happily, it is quite obvious that the previous occupants loved flowers.
How I wish I wasn’t so botanically challenged and actually knew the names of these little lovelies but alas, I can only stand back and snap away and admire someone else’s green thumb!
Either that, or stick them in little vases around the house to give us a bit of a smile when the rest of the place is in chaos…
We’ve decided to allow the garden to simply grow and do what it pleases this summer, save for some grass cutting and weed-pulling. We’ll think about whatever changes we’ll make for next year while we settle in and watch in awe as Miss Nature does her thing…
