Miss Scarlet's Garden Photo

The next entrant in the Ninth Annual Infomaniac Garden Photos Event is Miss Scarlet from Devon, England.

Apologies - all I have is this very green picture of a corner of my garden. Obviously it shows an electrical warning sign and some very overgrown bushes interspersed with ferns, brambles, hawthorn, and some rather attractive fencing.

I started trying to get my garden under control but it has started raining again, so I missed the rather large window of opportunity back in July... and this is the result.

    1. I like green and I like fernery, so all is good darling. And to answer your other question, my handle is prince_butterscotch on the gram.

  2. 50 shades of Green, as nature intended.

    Is the electric fence to keep intruders out or is it to keep Ms Scarlet in?

    1. I think it's a bit of both, Mitzi. Everybody stays safe this way.

  3. Well, going "Green" is trendy!
    And who doesn't enjoy electricity?

    1. And for the electricity pole I get paid £3 a year - it's a win, win!!

  4. I'd like an electrical warning sign for each time my bush gets overgrown.

  5. Nature meets Industrial Chic. This will be snapped up by an extremely rich someone-or-other for an obscene amount of money, mark my words!

    P.S. Do those strap-like leaves at the bottom right belong to Crocosmia?
    P.P.S. I expect the cows are off being milked. They are off being milked aren't they, Ms Scarlet?

    1. Crikey, I misread that as strap-on leaves... well, if it isn't a Crocosmia it is now! I shall look it up and hopefully I will find out how to look after it.
      The cows have mostly gone inside for Winter, they don't like the rain.

  6. We've developed quite a pash for ferns lately, but we'll never be able to grow them like they grow in Devon - you're right, it's only ever reasonably dry there in either June, July or August (and never all three)... Jx

    1. Maybe I should start taking the ferns East and flogging them on a market stall? They have been as prolific as brambles this year, and twice the size!

  7. At first, I thought you'd been caught up in the pre-pre-Christmas frenzy and hung your baubles on your bush early.

  8. You can try to fight nature, but it's just going to win.

    1. Indeed it is, so I might as well throw some fairy lights over the droopy bits and slap a smile on my face. Still not sure what to do with the garden though.
