Back to the Garden

I promised garden pics, so here they are. The rain has made everything go nuts, and it's so humid right now (fairly unusual, I think, for the Maritimes) that it feels more like a tropical island than Atlantic Canada. It's a full time job just to keep the grass under control and Paul's spent two whole days with the ride-on mower and strimmer just to get it back into some resemblance of a lawn. I can't believe how many wild foxgloves are spilling over everywhere, the place is a butterfly's dream.




Baby grapes!










Paul's work with the strimmer revealed a hidden stone pathway.







Foxgloves grow wild everywhere.




The hummingbird loves this fuchsia.






It's hard to get a sense from photographs of how large the garden really is, so I walked right to the tree line and took a picture.




The garden looks like a park at times.
