THE WEEKEND ROUNDUP and WEEKEND REFLECTIONS

Time for The Weekend Roundup and Weekend Reflections and today the letter is v and Vast.  Below I am showing you a V  in the  shape of a hedge. In this formal garden at Birr Castle there were a VAST number of these low grown hedges and following that image are VERY many different VARIETIES of 
 VEGETABLES in the kitchen garden also in the castle grounds.




I VISITED a garden centre recently and spied a VAST array of seed packets and bulbs for planting and finally a VERY beautiful male Eider duck giving me my REFECTION image.  


VERY many thanks for VISITING  and also for leaving any comments.

  11. Your garden pictures are great, the old folk went all out for gardens. We don't have very many of the large ones like you have. It is fun to go to a garden shop, most of our nurseries here have them too.

  14. I have not seen an array of seeds since I moved to Florida. I guess the climate here is not very conducive to planting from scratch and it is easier to purchase seedlings.
