Well April was dry...and now May is wet, windy and cold.
But even so the hidden garden at The Potters House Penketh is blooming.
The cherry tree has excelled itself with blossom...the hope is ripe cherries in June...as long as those pesky birds don't pinch the lot.
Although I curse the ever expanding plot of bluebells in June when the leaves turn slimey after the bells have seeded......nevertheless in May when they glow in the evening golden hour...I'm always glad that they are still there.
Forgetmenots and bluebells...they grow themselves.
And that's a good thing...as I'm not the world's greatest seed sower.
Carole Klein may say.."Just throw them in...they want to grow"...I must be buying the wrong seed packets!
However I must have done something right as the Japanese chocolate vine has also rambled into an even more wonderful concoction of twisting stems and branches over the wood shed...I suspect it is even responsible for holding that old structure together!
I'm not sure if this is Walt..(wall brown) or Woody..(wood brown)...but I love how they dance together in May.
Almost always seen in pairs...may be just brown but oh how they can dance.
"Let nothing trouble you...Let nothing scare you...All things pass"!...St. Teresa of Avila
