The Garden Reborn from 21 August 2015

Eleven years ago today the same backyard is transformed into today’s garden.

 The garden, a year ago today.

Made with my IPhone (the way many/most people make videos these days), about two weeks ago, in mid-July 2026.
 

Spring to summer

Spring can be a chilly season here; however, spring also transitions to summer almost overnight, usually in early May. One day it’s cold, the next day I’m installing a window air conditioner. These photographs show the profound change that happens in only three months, from April to July.

The following photos were taken on 18 April 2026:

Cottage garden on 6 July 2026

Last winter, a nightmare for many of us because of the relentless extreme cold, had a beneficial effect on the garden.The garden has never been better! Flowers I thought had died and disappeared have suddenly returned and are flowering, bushes I thought dead and had cut back to ground level have come back to life, everything is flourishing!
