@Berghill.. they are gorgeous photos.. your have a lovely large acreage of lang there.. i wouldnt mind that much..kep tellong hubby we need to move you have some lovely plants.. and the cat is so cute also.
we had heavy rain last ight.. so butts are now full so happy about that. spent yesterday planting out summer bedding ready for the rain.. got sunburn again.. cant believe it.
today i will inside sowing some seeds ready for next year..as too windy and cold outside..
Powwow, love that ladder planting! Thanks for sharing your garden pics--it looks wonderful.
Glad to hear you got some needed rain--I could use some sun.
My ceanothus has finally bloomed, along with the odd iris--the bluebell and autumn crocus foliage has been composted, and now there is room for the geraniums. I have a bright magenta collection that I have propogated and saved for about 15 years-I was looking at some old photos the other day, and there they were!
Thank you, Koala, for fixing up the link to Berghill's garden--it is absolutely spectacular. I am particularly fond of the rock work--such a variety of form and texture! And the plantings--!!!!!!!!
inkdog the blue flower was a closeuip of a gertrude jekyll heritage delphinium.
othello-what a wonderful rose in description and picture but our relationship has been fraught. each year his freaks and follies are different. several years ago he was obdurate about not growing all summer. then he threw up a solitary cane which by the end of september was 12 feet tall with a single rose at the tip-a very pretty rose and it made everyone laugh who came into the garden, but still. this spring he seemed to have died over winter and my heart rejoiced but when i arrived with the spade there was the most beautiful scarlet foliage. so, being a pusillanimous equivicator...... and my reward? a forest of six foot canes each witrh a single flower at the tip and for the first time ever-mildew. that's it. it's over. we are through, finished, done- he is out of here.
otherwise what a wonderful year. perhaps the best ever. the garden is a marvel, each morning and evening a fresh astonishment. i hope that all of you are having the same kind of joy but now i am getting that shovel and commiting rose-icide.

Obviously a labour of love.
