Garden, Saint Day, Cornwall

Your beautiful images of your mother's garden, with that light, those flowers, those colors, as I think I have already told you , enchant me and at the same time make me so kindly jealous of this magnificence!
I have always been so fond of these ' British gardens', as we , in Italy,call them!I I've tried and tried to imitate them ... but without success! Although I always thought of having a green thumb..green fingers..insomma un pollice verde !:-O)

Every thing is looking good, my sort of a garden 'soil should never be seen'

Well, in my sister's garden, also in Madrid province, about 40 km from me in the centre, they have tried to emulate my Mum's garden, also without success. I think Cornwall has the right degree of warmth (with mild winters) and rainfall. They decided to concentrate on fruit anfd veg instead - and very successfully too!
I supose it's always best to grow what has been estsablished as happy in an area!
Many thanks, Bea! I do pass on member' praise from time to time!
