New blog design!

I've decided to lighten things up a little. The background picture is from Brittany, some form of beach plant caught in morning dew.

I'd appreciate any feedback you'd care to share about the design.

And a few garden pictures, now that summer has arrived.

The writer's life with roses

Clematis, The President, with late blooming aquilegia

Bronze fennel, a welcome stray

A shy foxglove, just lifting its head

Foxglove with a reluctant cucumber

Cinnamon fern in all its glory

Rose de Rescht, stay away from those thorns

Rhubarb by the compost

pots on the patio with beach stones from Brittany

My new raised planter with babies
