May and I bought our house in Stirling in 1976. It was built in 1830 and the original garden was on three rather awkward levels. The person we bought it from had found it hard to sell the property and had hit on a wonderful idea. He bulldozed the old wash-house into the garden and levelled it with slag from nearby coal fired power stations. The idea was to make the house into an office and create a car park out of the garden.

The photos include Aquilegia, Centaurea, Pansies, Sweet Peas, Bluebells, Campanula persificifolia Primula vialii, Crocus, Himalayan Honeysuckle and Campanula glomerata.
Actually most are either pink or even orange. Quite a few of them though which is curious as May has always found it difficult to integrate red with her more usual blue, purple and white flowers. The photos include Nasturtiums, Hydrangeas, Fritillaria imperialis, Fritillaria meleagris, Astrantia rosea, Sweet Peas and Japanese Anemone.
The beginning of Spring is the best time for May. The short Winter days are over and the garden is approachable once more. Everything has a lime green tinge, the tulips are all over the place and the weeds are nowhere. Gardening is an easy business.
By midsummer the garden is almost out of control. The plants seem to think they have been planted in the tropics rather than in Central Scotland. Gentle weeding is a thing of the past. The garden is almost a battle ground.
