Buckfast Abbey
Lavender Garden
Sculpture & Fruit arch garden
Sculpture "The Family"
Just back from a short break in Devon, where we visited among other places, "Buckfast Abbey" which has lovely gardens tended by the Monks. Mostly perennial planting as you'll see from the above photos. One garden is a mixed variety of Lavenders, others gardens are roses and mixed perennials lanted within tall hedging, so they are contained. They have a few sculptures in the gardens too which fit in very well.
On my own garden now its a time for feeding a lot of my containers and the greenhouse Tomatos and Cucumbers. They flowers are now appearing on those which is the correct time for feeding. I use "Tomorite" for the greenhouse and containers. On the allotments I use "Growmore" which is a general fertilizer you spread on the soil to hoe in. I don't use horse manure as i think it contains too many nitrates from the horses feed. Besides we use our own poultry and rabbit manure which is composted at home . Its proving very effective this year too.
