The Other Garden.

I've been neglecting my Other Garden - the flatter one - and not giving it the publicity it deserves. So here are a few photos to set the scene.
 A young Conference pear in blossom with an apple tree in bud behind it. Beyond lies the old orchard - with its 70 year old apple trees that were planted for the War effort about 1940.
 The Wendy House and the sunnier greenhouse. Note the diagonally striped lawn!
Another apple tree, with a patch of flowers at its feet. Snowdrops and crocuses, followed by small and large daffodils. Now its the turn of the narcissi and the bluebells will be next. They are left to die back and are strimmed and mown later in the year.
