I've been away for a week and diligently kept texting the OH asking him to water whilst we had no rain and come back to summer blooms. This is my third year in the garden so there are still loads of gaps but enjoying filling them 🌼 Herb garden, the fennel loves this spot and provides a hidey hole for Mr Gnome.

Nemesis which I just left last year and have survived the winter.
Not sure what this is but it gets randomly pruned as I tend to get poked in the eye by it!
All these pictures are wonderful, and the gardens certainly look at their best now don't they. I love you garden jelly fire, it is my type of garden too. Thank you Chicky and Victoria Sponge, we love our wild flower meadow too, it looks so much better than a field full of stubble and manure at this time of year - I am sure our regular farmer doesn't agree though!
Such an inspiration, this thread, beautiful gardens everyone. I do love your wild planting jellyfire! My garden is still very much in its infancy but I am gradually working my way out from the more formal border areas around the house and would love something similar to link those to the more wild woodland. I keep saying ‘right, that’s it’ in terms of planting areas but it never seems to work somehow!
Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
Great photos everyone, although I do wish we'd get more "general views" of your gardens. I know, it's not always easy to capture a whole border / garden in one photo.

Thanks @pitter-patter, I think cow parsley goes with everything actually, I love it
That one is next door @Busy-Lizzie, a bit of the japanese concept of a borrowed view!
@AlliumPurpleSensation Your shrub looks like a variegated form of Ceanothus, maybe Zanzibar.
i apologise in advance if if they are too big——
