Rain's stopped play here again but I managed a couple of pix
I may eventually regret allowing a bit of Alchemilla in here, but I deadhead it ruthlessly and it's fine. I rather like it tumbling over the end of this bed, and it works well with the Phormium and the grasses in the adjacent bed
First sweet pea Juliet. Or rather, the second. First one was sugary pink, which I loathe, and it had me worried for a while. Hopefully just one rogue seed
A view back from the window in the screen. The path is on a slope - the grass and raised bed are both 'true'
Grass is now mown too
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I like the 'gentle' colour of the sweet pea FG. I have various clumps of achilea plants and also the dwarf one and shear them right back before they seed. I find them to be useful fillers and love the water droplets on the leaves.
I've also hacked back that geranium at the front Joyce. It was also a filler, one of the few things in this garden initially, and will be replaced by something I'll choose.
I love the water on the alchemilla too - and the acid coloured flowers. They're a great foil with purples.

Lovely pix Julie - you've put a lot of work into your garden. Really paying off
Wet here too flumpy. It's been so cold here that the grass hasn't grown too much since last weekend though. Every cloud, as they say...literally!
Good to see your photos here Jacqueline. It's a great thread for seeing loads of different ideas and styles isn't it?

Warm and wet here so my grass is coming up curly!! It's lovely to see everyone else's successes though.
No really it is....honest....I'm not the jealous type!
Ppauper....

not all of my garden is GS-worthy!
Lovely B3. Pleased to see that you also use terracotta pots that are on the 'way out'.
I can't bring myself to throw them away
Don't sell yourself short B3. It looks terrific.
