    Thanks for all the kind comments. Yep I agree about the fence, that's next on the list image It is in desperate need of replacing with new fence panels but i'm leaving them now until March when i'll replace the lot.

    Here's a few close ups of the Dahlias

    Love that 'sky' pic David - clouds make a lovely subject. I don't think we look up enough.

    I think this sedum Autumn Joy is the star just now for me, even though it's not staying where it is and it's not open properly yet. The bees have made that happen - I suppose they're the stars really  image

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

    Great pix Chris - I'm not a dahlia fan but that white one and the last one would fit in my garden very well! image

    Good luck with your fence -  I saved a fortune last year doing all my own as I had a long, open boundary. Would have cost a couple of grand at least to get a firm to do it.  The painting is probably the worst bit though! image

    What beautiful dahlias! image another 'made my day' moment.

    I have the white cactus which has three blooms now, other dahlias in bud. Hopefully a pom pom ( mixed up the tubers last year  image )

    Gorgeous pics as always, I didn't used to be a Dahlia fan but since going to the GC. Last weekend I've changed my mind, there were some beautiful ones.

    Lovely  sedum FG image

    My star ( which I may have posted before but they just keep getting better) is my a begonias, I put it on another thread the other day......got confused with this one image

    I absolutely love them and can't believe I grew them myself!!

    OL you are well showing off this begonia but well deserved to do so image

    It's only in a pot at present awating planting in it's final location (it needed to be grown up first) but has to be Geranium Rozane:

    It was new to me this year and the growth and the flowers are stunning! Going to be a great plant to cover a big planter on ym deck and will be moved to other parts of the garden too wherever I need ground cover.

    Also need to give an honourable metion to my courgettes, they are a crop that just keep giving and giving, they're growing so fast that one day they're not big enough to harvest and the next they're marrows!
