Allotment and kitchen garden blog
Based in Ickleford, Hertfordshire, UK.
My own little allotment of land (in whatever form it takes, whatever I do with it, or dream of doing) serves as a springboard for creativity and happiness.
Looking around lovely gardens, especially those open for National Garden Scheme with occasional visits elsewhere.
Birds, Animals, the Occasional Dash of Whimsy and lots of Pictures.

So fresh – that pink against a blue sky.
Thanks … I was thinking that it is hard to beat as a combo, but then I thought about poppies or sunflowers against blue skies and really, everything is better against a blue sky!
True! Hope you get some more blue skies soon where you are…
Better late than never, I guess! It is nice to see summer flowers, long gone here on this frigid day. The temps are predicted to plunge tonight down to 10F (-12C) yikes! Last week, we broke records for warmth, and I wonder if this will break a record in the other direction. Yo-yo weather is unsettling to this gardener!
In spite of several frosts we still have some flowers going strong. I am not sure that we have ever been that cold here in Cambridge (-11C is the lowest I remember). We seem to be breaking records for rain this year.
That’s lovely. It’s very reminiscent of Japanese Anemones. 🙂
Thanks. I know exactly what you mean with your comparison. In fact, one of my favourite photographs is of massed pink Japanese anemones with the sun behind them.
We’ve a lot of white ones in our front garden and my favourite pink ones have unfortunately allowed themselves to grow near our side door where I can barely see them! Have you the pic of your massed pink Japanes anemones in your blog? I’d love to see it!
Lovely. Sadly frost finished mined off a couple of weeks ago. xx
A sad moment in the year, but I am getting to point of wanting to tidy up now!
