If we were to walk around the Vicarage today you would see that the forest garden is coming into full bloom.

The lilies above are the first of the season and they are coming into bloom at the same time as the Lady’s mantle in the picture below.

I keep a good supply of clover growing throughout the garden. It helps keep the rabbits from eating the lettuces.

The bishop’s weed is springing up everywhere.

While the main fragrance is the Japan’s. This flowers may not be much to look at but they pack a powerful fragrance punch.

Strewn along the garden paths is copious amounts of Maryjane and creeping Jenny interspersed with wild daisies.



The summer squash is starting to blossom.


And I have to start using more Thai basil before it goes to seed.


Finally the sinking garden is starting to fill out nicely. I hope you enjoyed our walk.
