We are truly into late summer now but the season for visiting gardens is far from over. I’m hoping to squeeze in a few more places this season - favourite weekend activity. Here are some glimpses from my visit to Charleston House in September last year. A colour feast! How incredibly gorgeous! Highly recommend a visit and I think late summer might be the best time to see this amazing garden.

One more Swedish mini garden - making the most of narrow borders. And I will always love the painted wooden houses too.

Salty sweet peas doing their thing by the sea side

Salty sweet peas doing their thing by the sea side. They are deceptively delicate looking things but they can actually thrive in really exposed locations. Here they have some shelter from a fence but they grow happily high up on a cliff where the winds are seriously fierce. Also, the pot they are in is quite small - again, proving the general advice wrong by flowering profusely despite a cramped pot. Oh and did you know they can take temperatures down to -6 so for most of us it’s fine to keep seedling outside in winter.
I wish my sweet peas looked like this. The one thing they will not tolerate is neglect - guilty!
