Farewell to The Gardens of Delargo Towers - June

Indeed it is so, dear reader. June is to be our last month here at Delargo Towers. We shall however be moving as well as many of the plants to the new Delaro Towers next month. 

We are looking more like a garden centre than a garden at the moment and feeling more than a little sad to be leaving what was the first garden we have had together. 


It has been a fab four years and we have learnt a lot. 
I am so pleased that I started this monthly blog to record it.





How to tackle this post is the question and as every thing is being moved. potted and generally dug up the only answer is an inventory of what we have and some photos of what is in flower this month.

So yer tiz me lovelies.


Delphiniums ( our pride and joy )





A healthy Lupin at last!



Nasturtium, whirlybird


.Regal pelargonium


Aquilegias' are still showing off..





the pots at least should be easy to move.







Oriental Poppy



Osteospermum. this one starts off yellow and then turns pink. Very bizarre.




New from the R.H.S show last Autumn, Lilium martagon - Maroon King. 
 



The Veronica is also new and rather lovely.


Allium moly.




I am having a go at growing Dahlias from seed this year. they should give a bit of colour to the new place.
This is the only survivor from last years dahlias.



The jasmine was here before us and sadly not possible to move.



and the same is true for the pear. Looks like a bumper harvest too.




Regalia getting ready to do it stuff just in time to have to move it




Having found that fuchsias did well in the shade we planted them out in the boarder. They would have made a fab show but they are back in their pots now.



Brodiaea




So proud of the hollyhock, its a fab farewell to the garden






A dwarf sweet pea for containers ! fingers crossed.


So its good bye from us and good bye to The Gardens of Delargo Towers.




Stay tuned for The Gardens of Delargo Towers 2
