Giant rhubarb and summer colours


Rhubarb's from behind the compost bin, lens cap included for scale - it gets no fertisers, or any sort of care whatsoever! The white clematis grows on a trellis by the front door and needs frequent cutting back, else I'd not get in nor out the house! Photo taken looking down the hill towards Danestone and Bridge of Don one sunny morning in May.

Intro

For all those who keep asking "How's the garden doing?" - The answer can seen visually (and perhaps heard later on) in this Blog. If no one really bothers looking then it's a diary for me and a chance to play with the camera and ambient sound recordings. For those who don't know, the gardens' in North East Scotland (Woodside, Aberdeen, UK) at 57.2 degrees North. Back garden faces South-West(ish) (260 degrees), gets sun most of the day, is about 10m long of which ~4m is lawn and ~6m various fruit bushes (a barren field of weeds when I moved in) and a bit of veg (which the slugs and snails very much enjoy). Mine's the plot with the dark brown shed and foxgloves,

Front garden (see below) faces the road and is 4m x 3m - roses came with the house and have been lovingly pruned back to the way they should have always been kept.
