Well first off, I adore a gal who can garden in heels.......brava Scarlett. I have never seen such fine green. This calls for rounds of champagne spritzer. Now excuse me while a go change for the next entry.....
ReplyDeleteIt's the constant rain that makes it so green. Everything goes green... tiles, paving slabs, flowers... anything that should be white. It's like living in an aquarium.

A million dollar mermaid!
DeleteI like the positive spin!!

Hahahaha! I know who helped you to empty that half barrel!(But I never speak ill of the dead. My lips are sealed)
ReplyDeleteThose half barrels come in handy... as temporary fish ponds...

Pretty in pink. Your rose looks lovely... and That's not a lawn... it's a croquet green... o
ReplyDeleteI'm quite sure that on a clear day you can see forever...
Prinny.... it's a slightly lumpy, bumpy croquet lawn....
DeleteSx
It is the exact same outside my window today only with less leaves! Appalling.
ReplyDeleteSx
Please bundle up Miss Scarlet! You'll catch a cold gardening on a dank day like that!
ReplyDeleteNice bush, btw.
I have walked the dog and I am not going out again! It the fourth day in a row that I have been drenched. On the plus side, the wood burner has been cleaned and the chimney swept. I am ready for Winter.
DeleteSx
Why, I have a veil of murk
ReplyDeletecascading off my smart pillbox hat!
Steady, or I'll send you my spare sou'wester with gutter front brim.
DeleteSx
Who cuts all that grass?
ReplyDeleteI have have a man although I am thinking of getting a goat and selling goat products on the side. Imagine what a goat butter stick could do!
DeleteSx
Miss Scarlet, may we remind you of the legal proceedings from your stick of butter treatments?
DeleteSo long ago.... all the wounds have healed now. Plus, I have tea tree oil for anything that goes wrong :-)
DeleteSx
Is that really Dartmoor behind your garden? WOW! That must be a sight when it isn't overcast. Your garden does look impressive, darling! xoxo
ReplyDeleteCareful Savannah, legend has it that there roams a kind of "dog", a big big "dog" with eyes like lanterns ...
DeleteI have been a fan of Mr. Holmes for more years than I can remember! xoxo ;)
DeleteIt is Dartmoor, Savvy! On a clear day it looks like THIS!!
Delete....Oh look a blog post from me back in 2014 complaining about the weather.

What can I say ? A lush lawn, bushes and trees - gardening with nature, not going against her. Mother Nature has the final word, a paradise for water- and murk-resistant plants, pleasant to the eyes, ideal for some watercolours. Carry on, dearest Scarlet, may your thermovest stay dry !
ReplyDeleteApologies for my absence... the sun is out today! Yay!! I wouldn't dream of fighting nature.. I would lose... plus nature is faster than me.
DeleteSx
How very spacious! Loads of room for all the British Weather to mask and moisten.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of which, I think your murk may be headed my way - Norfolk has basked in sunshine and 20 degree unpleasantness. A terrible state of affairs at this time of year. Bring on the murk!
Yeah... I saw your weather forecast.... grrr.... At least I have some sun today!
DeleteSx
The murk is here, too - albeit with a far less prepossessing view behind it. All we have is the end house of the perpendicular terrace to look at... Jx
ReplyDeletePS Green is very "in" in Devon.
I do get tired of the verdant hue, Jon. Sometimes I hanker after a pavement... and a lamp post... or a shop.
DeleteSx
Even on a cloudy, wet day, your lawn and plants look lush and healthy. I like the spots of color on the bushes and flowers. I don't mind the murk one bit. Mists are magical in the right light.
ReplyDeleteAny sightings of the famous Dartmoor ponies? Spectral hounds or werewolves?
Mr Swings - I have seen Dartmoor ponies, they don't stray this far, but when I've been to Dartmoor I've seen them and they are lovely. Obviously the spectral hounds and werewolves live in my attic.
