Pottering Along

One of my favourite places to spend Sunday!

Roses @ Brabourne Farm

The roses are very late but are certainly worth the wait .... it's just so lovely to smell their perfume through the garden and the house. 

PS A few of you have asked what the pink roses are .... on the columns at the front of the house are Pierre de Ronsard and the others in these images are David Austin.

In the Garden @ Brabourne Farm

 

After what seems like the longest winter ever, summer has finally arrived .... warm/hot mornings and afternoon thunderstorms .... the perfect growing weather!  Today's jobs - plant tomato seedlings (the new trellis was installed yesterday), weed the new perennial border, hedge trimming, mowing, plant peonies .... garden heaven! 

Early Spring @ Brabourne Farm

Spring is slowly starting here at Brabourne Farm - the days are getting longer, the pear trees and crabapples are flowering, the air smells sweet and the sound of birdsong is everywhere.  This truly is the most wonderful time of year!

Garden Blues

Enjoy your Sunday!

Greenhouse Effect

.

High on the ever increasing Brabourne Farm wish list is a greenhouse. I would love to be able to grow beautiful potted flowering plants - I can't think of anything better than filling the house with gorgeous geraniums, hippeastrums, lilies, orchids ..... bliss! Have a lovely weekend.

Autumn @ Brabourne Farm

Autumn has arrived at Brabourne Farm - the days are getting short, the nights are cold, the leaves are turning yellow and falling and the larks have headed north for the winter. It's time to fill the wood basket and look forward to long nights by the fire - who could wish for more!
