More pictures of my garden

.
When I last put some up vilakins mentioned the garden I was in the stage of trying to creat when she and her husband stayed with me .  It was at the dead grass stage then and I did try to make a garden there the grass from the lawn over the fence kept creeping in and eventually overpowered my resolve.  I left it ito it's own devices and let it become a wild life garden.  I keep the brambles at bay but otherwise any thing that can self seed into the parrie(very miniture) is welcome to grow there.  This means a lot of native plants for the birds, bees and butterflies
Here's what it looks like now



 

And I have more anemones both multi petaled and normal. Some are white  this time.





The Lady's mantle is in flower, as you can see I don't keep it for it's exotic blooms

But I do have Valerian and climbing Hydrangea flowering well.  Or at least the latter will be once the center of the florescence opens.


 

The climbing hydrangea is fighting a native self seeded ivy for the old outside toilet and coal shed.  I'm afraid the ivy is winning but they are so intertwined I cant, spray one with out the other suffering and the same foes for cutting the stems, I can't tell which from which.
