Sweet Peas at Easton Walled Gardens
Easton Walled Gardens (Easton, Lincolnshire, UK) is a wonderful find. The large estate house was torn down after WWII and the grounds and garden left to go wild. In recent years the family have begun the restoration of the grounds and gardens - a mammoth undertaking. But with wonderful results.
Though the whole estate is quite impressive, I was really taken with the rows and rows of sweet peas. I've never been able to grow them in my hot, dry, sandy soil. This was definitely sweet pea heaven! And I love how this picture came out with the gray clouds above.
We only had an hour or so to visit, but we'll be back. Do visit - it's well worth it! http://www.eastonwalledgardens.co.uk/
