Lovetg I bet you've made good use of your pergola/seating area in this hot weather!
John the craftsmanship's fantastic on your herb bed. (Am I unusual in admiring that and not the plants!) How's the the crop circle....very good Wintersong!
And if it's wet do you sit on the chair in the little storage shed??
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Thanks John. It really looks like slate, very effective.
Will try scattering nasturtium seed next year: looks a good way to fill some bare earth at edge of borders, provide colour (plus the occasional extra peppery flavour in salads!)
little-anne: Lovely chrysanthemum(!) dahlia (?) (sorry I still don't know enough to identify them).
You seem to have them in a pot - can I ask do they do well all year like that, or do you have to dig up the bulbs in the autumn and replant next year?
I might try it myself because through ignorance I'm sure I've dug up or cut through some important planting my wife did in previous years and it might be a way of knowing where they are each year if I grow them in pots.
Thank you so much for the nastutiums pic John - they really do make a lovely splash of colour for just a sprinkling of seeds for the packet,
These are my 3 plants,
bought a market for several quid each. Note the one on the lefI refuses to stand up,
yet was the first to flower . Any ideas why, anyone? I now notice the other two have at last strengthened as well as overtaken the one on the left in putting out flowers. Hmm!

I tried scattering nasturtium seed but it was the variegated one and nothing came up. have plentty of plain ones though.
Thank you for that info little-ann. They're a lovely return for your first year's planting.
Here are a couple of pics of 'before & after' ref. the new patio + a closer pic of some of the nasturtiums for Birdy.
Great pics everyone. It is so nice to see other peoples gardens and get some ideas.

Next year I'll definitely use seed, though.
