At the moment the back garden is full of mud! The grass we have is a summer grass and unfortunately it all dies off in Winter and the lawn turns to sticky slippery mush! But this year I have vowed to put an end to that and buy some year round grass seed and perhaps plant some native grasses too.

So today I am going to show you some pics of whats flowering at the moment. Must say i got the idea from Cat Mint whose blog is here http://slowgardener.blogspot.com/  who on the 15th posted photos for Garden Bloggers Bloom Day. A great idea. I've missed the 15th of August so here are some pics of whats in bloom at the moment! We'll try and pretend the mud isnt there because soon ....it wont be!
Enjoy, and please feel free to comment.
