Thanks for showing so many wonderful gardens Stan!  I'm very glad you take the time to show your pictures here.
All these spring flowers are really welcome in these dark, grey and cold days.

Sadly Luit died on 14th October 2016 - happily we can still enjoy his posts to the Forum

Final visit on Sunday 25 May was to the Band's garden at Pitcairngreen. Hospitality  here is legendary and I should have taken some pictures of all the food but was too busy eating it. There are a couple  of pics of the fruit and veg garden where some of it comes from.

Great to see a spot of colour, Stan and a reminder of summer when everything outside is white.
