GPE #8 : Maddie, the Mistress Borghese's successful gardening year

M A D D I E

The Mistress was very pleased as to another fairly successful gardening year.  Considering I still don't have much nous when it comes to gardening and when and where to plant things. 
 



It was another good year for the show stoppers of the Datura Ballerina and the Popcorn Cassia, both of which got huge.
 
 
My one lone Fuschia did well, at least till the end of June when it got murdered by the heat of the summer.
 
 



The roses and pansies were also welcome happy moments of the garden from spring till end of summer.
 
 
The new addition to the gardens at the Casa du Borghese was a wildflower garden, which was very pleasing with the selection of flowers we got from the seed packets.
 
 







 
Overall, another good year.  Next year we may require more houseboys.

The moon platters were, alas, moved indoors...
Would you believe we had complaints from the neighbors?
The nerve.

 I do have to wonder if the neighbours complained because they could only look but not touch?
Anyway, thank you Mistress Maddie for those beautiful garden photos.

 Our next gander at greenery will be Ms Nations' in a couple of days time, so stay tuned!
