Here is another batch of photographs which have escaped my cull of those in my iMac Photos:
While spending the weekend of 15-16 June 2013 with the Thompson Family we helped them lay out their garden in Mapperley: https://derrickjknight.com/2013/06/16/nits-2/ has more.
The next weekend saw us tending Elizabeth’s garden in West End: https://derrickjknight.com/2013/06/24/pick-the-bucket/
Then, the following day, Jackie’s garden around the side of our flat in Castle Malwood Lodge, Minstead,
before taking a trip to Mottisfont at Romsey: https://derrickjknight.com/2013/06/25/graham-stuart-thomas/
This horse having its hoof attended to in London Minstead features in: https://derrickjknight.com/2013/07/01/sir-william-harcourt/
The total in iMac now stands at 57,336. I have some way to go.
Now Jackie has added some from her work today:
New Dawn rose and spent rudbeckia flower heads;
and this mushroom sprouting from the top of the Weeping Birch trunk.
This evening we repeated last night’s Chicken and vegetables stewp and focaccia meal.
Lovely memories, Derrick. 😊
Beautiful photos. It is hard to chose which ones to keep.
An impressive body of work celebrating the past decade.
Lovely photos and what a cute little mushroom on the birch!
All through the post I was wondering about how the mushroom was managing to grow at that angle from a branch or trunk – then all was revealed! The number of photos you have taken it’s a wonder you didn’t ear out your knuckles rather than your knees.
Lovely photos from the garden
“The total in iMac now stands at 57,336. I have some way to go.” That’s sounds like a fair comment. Good luck. I enjoyed the fungus.
Oh, a miraculous magic mushroom atop the memorial tree trunk … mother nature being matronly munificent …
You have such lovely photos of the early years. How nice!🥰
So many happy memories 🙂 From humble beginnings, a great gardener is born 🙂 Love the wise old tree in Mottisfont 🙂 Now, isn’t that a clever mushroom!
Love the header photo and the gnarly mossy trees. I’ve rarely if ever seen a mushroom growing on top of a stump. It looks like a piece of art. Gardening as a family activity is special.
