Hello there, its me again
Gnome Joop. She wants me to give you a tour around her garden. I would rather not.
So I have hidden myself behind a large tulip! But alas she finally has found
me. Here we go.
We are starting at the
hedges at the sideway. There are some beautiful daffodils and tulips over
there. But there is a lot of weeds between the quarry tiles too. Did you notice that dandelion a short step away?
Personally, I am very fond of dandelions. She
however always pulls them out. I will blow out this dandelion, that will keep
her busy!
The front yard. Have you notices how green that grass
is? It is really hurting my eyes. Let's go on then.
Past the old barn, that
is a very long walk for me. Incidentally, this barn really should be painted. Last
year she wanted to paint the barn, but she did far from it. Instead of doing that she just went to
the beach!
Now we are in the picking garden. That is the place
where I hang out mostly. The scents of daffodils is overwhelming. That scent will give me a
headache. Fortunately the daffodils will be over in a month.
As you can see, she cleared this side behind the barn. There is not
much sunshine in this area. That's why she has placed some pots with bulbs over
here. She thinks that will make them bloom later. I bet you not, when the
temperature rises to 22 degrees as it is today!
Take a look at this part
of the garden. It is already flourishing. She is sitting all day on the bench
watching her tulips grow. As if that will help!
The next garden area; now
called the daffodil garden. It will take some time before all white daffodils
are blooming. Let's quickly go to some more color!
The last time I was here,
there was a white table, but that has now gone. Why does she do that? Cannot she
make up her mind or does she deliberately want to confuse you?
We have turned around another
corner. This is her idea of a flower meadow. Do you like those little tulips as
well?
These high torches are called Frittelaria persica. She
has chosen these because deer don’t like them. But she did not know that snails
do. Now she goes about picking snails every night using a flashlight! She must
be bonkers!
Fortunately, the end of
the garden tour! I hope it will not be too busy during the open garden days. Too
much visitors is a real intrusion on my privacy.
Hope to see you next time
(not really though), gnome Joop
The garden is open: April 24, 25, 28, 29, 30. May 1, 2 and 3 from 10.00u-13.00u
A wonderful tour through the Daffodil and Tulip garden! So, she went to the beach, did she ;-)
