Rosemary Verey

I'll resist all the puns that come with Ms. Verey's name but I do think that her books are quite something! I've been reading her Making of a Garden book and have been inspired by her garden design ideas. Wikipedia has a nice list of her books and they seem to be in libraries - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosemary_Verey

These are coming!

 
 
 
 

The lavendar is just starting to bloom. The roses are going wild, though I hear there's a little blight on a few of them. June is a lovely month indeed!

Too Many PIctures

After taking literally 600 pictures yesterday in the garden, Blogger is getting a little slow in uploading them. If you'd like to see more, visit

Best crocuses yet!

Snowdrops are up!

The snowdrops are up at Dorothy's - I hear. I haven't seen them yet, sadly, but my mom's recorded their arrival!

It's the second day of daylight savings - still pretty cold - but those buds on the trees are getting fat and ready to bloom too!
