Rockery

Angellica

Hosta

Apricot & Cherry

Almost June now and the rockery is looking very colourful indeed. We added a few new plants on there earlier this year which have made a difference. Its probably the best time of year for our rockery too.

The Aubrietias are at their best and the phlox too. Still others to come into bloom as well.

The Hosta plants are looking very lush and no sign of slug damage as yet. We put gravel around them to help deter the slugs. We have a plant called Angellica which is a type of Herb and that has grown very large this year. The flowers have an unusual scent too.

Also at this time of year the hedges usually need a trim, so i'll be trimming mine very soon. Its very important to wear some protective clothing and  goggles to protect your eyes. Especially if you use a mechenical hedge strimmer. Mine uses petrol which i prefer to electric ones with cables.

The lawns here I can usually get trimmed using our pet rabbits!
