Summer in Seanhenge II

Due to my laziness I don't do it often, but just for a change I felt fancy
to offer more than but one photo from Summer in Seanhenge.
Balcony view.

Fern, polygonatum, poppy.

It looks chaotic but after may turnips
we shall enjoy to harvest
tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, peppers,
cauliflower, onions,cucumbers, courgettes,
beans, different salads etc., plus lots of herbs.

Always a fine view when looking up,
whilst reading, writing or just enjoying a mug of coffee.

My rowan, a birthday present many moons ago.

Roses and elder.

Sometimes it's nice to enjoy shadow.

Poppies.

Merrygold, horseradish and phacelia.

Ah yes, that looks pretty chaotic. But I still smile when thinking of the words that have been hanging in front of me for many years: "Chaos on your desk? Then you're a happy man."

  1. I am loving your garden. And would love to spend time in it with you. It looks more ordered than my jungle.

    1. Ha, it would be wonderful to welcome you, dear Sue.
      I will therefore immediately try to invent a stable wormhole. Then you could always go back to the Australian winter if it gets too warm for you here. At the moment, however, you would like the temperatures.
      Coffee or tea? ;-)

    2. Tea. Or if my tummy is playing up, water.

  2. Poppies are beautiful, there is something about their vivid colours and delicate petals.

    1. Not too far from here was a field of poppies, to which photographers travelled from far and wide every year. A few years ago it had to give way in favour of a golf course extension.

  3. The Seanhenge garden looks massive, possibly a couple of acres there? And seasonal temperatures, the English summer this year is most peculiar.

    1. How many acres do you think, Mark? ;-)
      Summer (temperatures) we had in April. For the past few weeks we had lots of rain – and therefore snails.

    2. 25 is perfect, Mark, but with a zero and a decimal point in front of it - 0.25 acre. ;-)

    3. well you have certainly optimised what you have!

    4. As I said to Antonia (Ventana de Foto): Regarding the size of Seanhenge: as a photographer, you know what you can achieve with the choice of image sections ;-)
      But yes: While our neighbour's robot mower won't let a single daisy flourish, Seanhenge is buzzing and humming. Bees, bumblebees, hover wasps and the like feel welcome and reward my laziness in constantly mowing the lawn. ;-)
      Well, I'm not quite that lazy, but I always leave little "oases" somewhere so that our buzzing guests feel at home.

  4. De vegades en el caos és on es troba l'equilibri...
    Jo, si visqués al teu jardí, no voldria marxar mai d'allà.
    I si hi poses un estany amb un parell de peixos i un parell d'animals que corrin amunt i avall, ja tens el Paradís. ;-)
    Enhorabona pel jardí i visca el caos!!!
    Aferradetes, Sean.

    1. Seems I do have to invent two wormholes: one for Sue, and one for you. ;-)
      And yes: Visca el caos!
      As Nietzsche had Zarathustra say: "[...] you still have to have chaos in you to be able to give birth to a dancing star."
      Aferradetes, Paula.

    2. Podem compartir el mateix... si a ella li va bé (així t'estalvies feina). ;-)

    3. Now, that's a glorious idea, Paula! Sue and you are doing the garden work, and I am relaxing under the apple tree. ;-)

    4. Oh no, estimat!. No sé que en pensarà na Sue, però com a convidada, ja em veig davall aquesta pomera o qualsevol altre arbre amb bona sombra, gaudint de com TU sues la samarreta... Una visió espectacular! ;-)))

    5. Errata: Volia dir ombra i no sombra.

  5. Todo lo que he visto en ese jardín me ha encantado. Se ve extenso y con buenas plantas.

    1. Ah, Antonia! Welcome. Glad you enjoyed your visit.
      En cuanto al tamaño de Seanhenge: como fotógrafo, ya sabe lo que se puede conseguir con la elección de las secciones de la imagen ;-)

  6. What a beautiful garden you have, Sean.
