Some garden pics

[hopalong]

Thought I'd try a slideshow for a change.  Click below.  These pics were taken about a week ago.  Things have come on since then.  Amazing what a difference some rain makes. The marsh marigolds have flopped into the pond following the rain.  There are more tulips in bloom.  Everything is bigger.

It's Chaenomeles x superba (japanese quince), grown mainly for its flowers and good for training along a wall, but it also produces small fruits that you can use in cooking.  I use them for flavouring the apple crumble.

All looking really lovely and healthy there, Hopalong.  BTW, we are growing many of the same plants.  Must be great minds eh?   ;D
