thats a brilliant picture, love the way the shape of the flower reflects the shape of the butterfly

Photos taken in May this year.

Apple trees, with comfrey planted at their base, and an overwintered cabbage spreading all over the raised bed.

The cabbage is now growing up my young birch tree.

I think it will produce too many seeds for an urban gardener such as myself.

Comfrey can get massive.

I left them to flower, since the bees were enjoying them so much. There was a constant buzz in my garden.

peadar76 · 09-07-2014 2:40pm

This was in a pot for years and was gone very straggly and wasn't blooming. Now that it's in the ground it's doing much better.

I am quite new to this and cant figure out how to attach my photos. Can anybody help?

Red Hare · 21-07-2014 11:58am

Callum as a new member you cant post links or images until you have made fifty posts. If You want to email the images to me I can put them up for you - Also do you wish to enter the gardening photo competition?

calum22 · 21-07-2014 12:01pm

Oh I see

Thanks for the advice Red Hare! No its ok, I will just have to work on my discussion skills over the next few days.

Thanks again

So many of the plants in my garden have special memories of people or places. This wild rose grew from a slip I took on a trip to my husband's ancestral home in West Cork. It's now growing vigorously over the wall with my neighbour in my small fruit plot

I know it's totally unrelated to gardening but do you use back button focus on your bird shots, some lovely ones up on flyer. Dont see you in the photography forum ?

No I dont have it on the d90 and too lazy to go about setting it up. Is it worth it do you think?

I head over there the odd time alright mostly the nature and wildlife forum.

What is flyer btw?

I'm not sure what variety/species of Primula this is. If anyone has any idea, please let me know. I saw it growing in my neighbour's garden last year and thought it was an Aubretia at a distance (the flowers are quite small). My neighbour dug some up from her own garden and kindly gave them to me - I had forgotten I'd planted them, so it was a nice surprise to see them in bloom today.
