IN OUR GARDENS 2025

Our garden is very similar to yours Trebor. Got rid of the lawn years ago as I didn't want the hassle of cutting lawns as I got older.
I will have to try and take a decent photo and the find out how to post it. My problem is age and the shakes. Like you we have a number of Hostas several coming into flower

Thank you, fully agree about the lawn, it takes a lot of hard work to keep a lawn looking good. Trebor (Rita)

With the warm, no hot weather there has been a marked increase of butterflies, some I recognise, these include comma, red admiral, cabbage white, peacock, tortoiseshell, humming bird moth, and some brown ones.

According to an acquaintance who is a butterfly expert - conditions have led to a bumper year.
Lot of these around (this one is on the field opposite but they are in gardens as well).
