My parents garden
In July i was in Wexford to visit my parents. While having a look around their garden I had to take a few photo's. It is such a beautiful garden. They have been in the house now for about 8 years I think! I never thought I would love any grden as much as I loved the garden in the home I grew up in . It was huge. But this garden has huge mature trees and I have to take my hat off to my parents!!!- the planting is beautiful and very clever (just like them!!) Hope you enjoy the photo's

Muscadet on a wet August morning
Hi everyone,
The garden is growing before my eyes!! However, with all the rain we cant even get out to enjoy it, never mind do any work in it. We just bought a new gazebo and new furniture (LOVE IT) and it has done nothing but rain since! Summer in Ireland !?!?!?!?!??????The veggie garden has done very well with fresh salad and veggie for us every week. Herbs very good too, well used. Apples are getting very big now but I know from last year that they have a long way to go. They were as big as turnips last year !!! The plum tree however is in trouble!! Have some sort of rust and holes in the leaves. Have to find out hot to solve this problem. Not nearly as many plums as last year. My Muscadet lilly has just started to bloom - photo attached. I bought it at Chelsea a couple of years ago and await to see the floweres as big as dinner plates. My white agapanthus is just about to bloom. I bought it several years ago in a garden centre in Wexford and this is the first time it has bloomed since!!!!! Slugs and snails are back in force and have my heart broken!! Have posted A WET AUGUST MORNING PHOTO'S.
