The far end of my garden is half dug up ready for a new path, but Ive halted proceedings due to bees tunnelling in the soil as I dont want to disturb them. The rest of my garden got a bit of new colour recently when the yellow Azalea started flowering...
This is my neighbours clematis which grows up her fence and then continues to grow wonderfully over my garage..
A few foxgloves starting to show thier flowers..
Hardly got any jobs done in the garden today, seeing as the weather was nice I spent most of the day sat on the patio BBQing a joint of lamb...
And a view of the garden from the patio, colour provided by aliums growing amongst potted oak trees...
Berghill: Thank you for indulging me by answering those questions (Earlier today)
Many would be daunted by the hazards and obstacles that you faced, but your experience has got to be a lesson for all of us: you have taken control of each nightmarish difficulty and transformed your story into the dream of your making. (Sorry, went all poetic and philosophical there for a moment! )
Thank you all. Well kept I dispute. It is a relatively new garden - 2 1/2 years to 3 years old so full of unwanted weeds and planting mistakes. Spent the day doing battle with Bindweed and walked into a large clump of nettles. (ouch!!!) Still designing. But thanks anyway, makes it worth while
LF- your garden is so neat and structured yet full of lovely contrasts and colour without jarring.
You're not the only one that can get all poetic Birdy...
I thought I'd lower the tone but maybe raise a laugh. Here's a pic I took earlier- well the fence and wire is still looking a bit bare as the clematis are just planted so I thought I'd make use of the space......
It's a bit pants isn't it....
Think I've had too much sun.......
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

Thanks Matty - gorgeous photos
The colour of the rosa glauca foliage is wonderful isn't it 
I love it.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Stunning garden Busy-Lizzie.
Matty2, your garden looks very well kept.

Not bad for someone who does not really like gardening!
You wouldn't know it.
I was the same - but I think it is gradually changing me - for the better, I think.
Felt low earlier, better now after an hour or so outside.
BL, your house and garden is truly wonderful looking. I envy you much, even the hard work as that's my kind of fun
Berghill, thank you for sharing your beautiful plot with its inspiring vistas and plant choices. I never tire of being nosey around your garden.
Matty2, the Rosa Glauca and the Iris are divine and I want both in my garden
Leadfarmer, I love your borders and climbers even if some of them are your neighbours
I can only hope to emulate these aspects in my own garden and love this forum for the knowledge, ideas and fun that is created by one and all.
