MY OLD GARDEN.

12 comments


I thought you might like to see some more photos of my old garden… It was quite small with a wall at the end….. it had a lovely big pond with frogs in….it was north facing so did not get much sun till late afternoon at the back of it….. Where i placed a seat…. As well as the Magnolia tree it had an old pear tree, the bloosom was lovely in the Spring and had loads of pears in the late summer….


This is the magnolia tree in the summer….

This was the right hand side of the garden. The pond was at the back …….


These done really well here… in a sunny spot at the back.


Round the front door………


Path round the side of the house ……….


Love in the mist.. round the side path.

what a gorgeous little oasis - I love the little jap.maple by the bench and I cant believe what a huge magnolia tree - what variety was it? (I should think it looked amazing when it was in blossom)

Great pictures. I don't grow fruit trees but have always liked the look of pear trees. All those lovely frogs probably meant you didn't have a slug problem in that garden.

Thanks for all your comments... yes i did enjoy the garden there... although it was north facing and didnt get to much sun......sadly we had to sell up as i split up with my partner... But am much happier here in my new house and garden this being the 4th summer here... just been out to have a look round the garden and theres loads coming through.. lovely sunny day today.... this garden faces south and the sea is a few mins walk up the road........
