May 2017 in the Garden

What a month! We've had a lot of good weather, so spent plenty of time outdoors. The garden has been beautiful. Here are some highlights


Paeony


Berberis




Hosta; we couldn't grow these in our Yorkshire Vicarage garden as we had too many slugs and snails. in Teesdale, though the climate is wetter, we have next door's ducks. 



The pond - more on this at a later time. We have plans to improve and manage the pond better. 


Laburnum. We lost our laburnum in Yorkshire to what we thought might have been honey fungus. This is a beautiful specimen. 



Wisteria - looks good and, I discovered this year, smells great too!


Acer
  

Lots of aquilegia, in a variety of colours. I suspect that they may be self-set hybrids.
