I copied the two photos above (with my phone) from one of my coffee table gardening books, "The Garden, A Celebration" Edited by Howard Loxton. I love the timber-framed house called Hall's Croft and the rear garden with no blank spaces for the weeds to grow. It looks care free but we all know there's no such thing.🪴
Enjoy the long July 4th weekend extending into Monday.

A weed is simply a plant growing where you wish it wouldn't. A garden of "weeds" can actually be beautiful.
Linda Sand -- Thanks for the lovely sentiment. Have a lovely July 4th weekend (without weeds).

Wow! The home must be at least 400 years old--I always marvel at how well some structures stand the test of time. The garden is gorgeous!
Oh, this is wonderful! Thank you, Rosemary. I hope you are enjoying the Fourth of July weekend.
Pam - Those old homes in England, constructed of old growth lumber, have stood the test of time and the English believe in preserving them. It's too bad we didn't inherit this trait from our Founding Fathers. Tear it down or rip it out seems to be our theme. The new lumber starts to deteriorate right away as all the painters and carpenters will tell you. OK, I'll get off my soap box now and wish you a Happy July 4th.

Lisa D. -- You are welcome. Happy July 4th to you too and enjoy the extra day on the 5th.
