Scenes from the Backyard Gardens



 Darlow's Enigma (on the left) is now officially a monster. Crimson King (the pink roses to the right - that I like to call Fripp Robert because I am a geek) will be there in the not-too-distant future. Given we have no more bouts with the dread RRD (Rose Rosette Disease).

 A close-up from the largest of our grape vines - who will be producing grapes for the first time this year - woot! This is a white table grape - Niagra I think.

 Hellebores, hellebores, how I love you!

 And you too, hellebore!

 The Japanese maple - Bloodgood - finally has advanced past its "Charlie Brown Christmas Tree" phase. 

 The kiwi is starting to get some size to it. Still no sign of blooming. She may need another year to fruit (yes, we have a male too - its just out of the frame on the left).

 An encore appreciation of Darlow and Fripp, er, the King.

Papillon rose on the left; Apple Jack on the right. There is the foliage of  a climbing hydrangea in there too.
