Once we had unearthed it from behind a stand of bamboo we had to cut it back build the pergola and then encourage it to grow up and into our garden.Mrs Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03964628527899832494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1897113670108875267.post-60954582639496661112013-06-02T21:10:45.844+01:002013-06-02T21:10:45.844+01:00I love everything from your studio to the plants g...I love everything from your studio to the plants growing on your steps.

After reading your post, I'm now hoping mine self seed around our garden :)<br />My dicentra spectabilis has just finished flowering. It's one of the plants in the garden that I can't help but photograph because those heart shaped flowers are adorable.<br />I got some forget me nots from my mother's in law's garden last month and planted them in pots.

I love the story of the vet and the pack of forget me nots - that is so moving and such a beautiful idea :) I adore the stories that are just as much a feature of this linky as the plants. This is what makes garden so special, I guess.

We sat out in the garden to eat a few days ago and it's really relaxing isn't it when the children can run free and everyone can kick back and soak up the garden?<br /><br />Amazing photographs - that snail one is just perfect, I love how you can recognise him through his deformed shell. We too have aquilegia sprouting up everywhere at the moment, I never knew if they were a weed of a flower - I love how they look so I've always left them well alone. Ours are always pink and purple and I've not seen red or white ones before.<br />I have garden envy now!<br /><br />Thank you for joining in again xMammasaurushttp://mammasaurus.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1897113670108875267.post-51333415847182443022013-05-30T09:47:55.046+01:002013-05-30T09:47:55.046+01:00Oooh, I love your garden, and I am so jealous of y...Oooh, I love your garden, and I am so jealous of your studio/garage/playroom!
