Summer Garden

Mary, Mary, quite contrary, how does your garden grow, with silver bells and cockle shells and pretty maids all in a row row row and pretty maids all in a row!

I love this nursery rhyme and you can often hear me singing it whilst in the garden.  When I had the allotment, I had cockle shells and silver bells hanging from the shed window, made from old bakewell tart tins, ummm yum I could eat one now!    But I never had a row of pretty maids!

This is my garden a week ago.

Tonight we will have pea and broad beans risotto! Ha ha I might even post a picture of my tea!  









Fruit bushes, I have raspberries, black currants, apple, figs and blueberries.  This year I will try raspberry gin!  I will let you know how I get on and post a receipe!


The pink peonies have been a wonder show this year and they smell so lovely.  We have been lucky with the weather as if it rains heavy when the peonies come out they wont last long and the petals will drop, but this year they have lasted.
