Small Garden Story

Over some 15 + years, I have been photographing the evolution of my small (85 x 15 foot) garden and it seems a waste not to put these records into some sort of context. Beginning here in April 2010 this Blog is intended to both act as a diary and to share past and present successes (and some failures), pleasures and disappointments with fellow garden-lovers. In due course, I intend to fill in some of the background and early days but that will have to wait until the winter months!

Dicentra formosa Aurora

I gave a healthy root-division of this plant to a friend the other day and then completely forgot what it is called - muddling it up with a corydalis. It is (of course) dicentra formosa Aurora - and seems to be doing particularly well in part shade, hence why I wanted to split it up! It seems a much tougher little plant than its larger showier Bleeding Heart relatives.

The lathryus vernus is doing really well this year and it is exciting to see the first Zurel tulip, here highlighted against the bought combination of Jimmy and Renaldo (the closest I will ever get to welcoming football into my garden!)
