Well done to the gardeners, I’m so impressed, even have a prize winner amongst us, how good is that
Alan, I think I might have to come and live in your garden, it’s fabulous, you do well to keep it so well maintained the veg is a good idea, nothing like home grown

Looking good Alan.
Don't know how anyone else feels but I find that my garden is the thing that keeps me feeling positive these days. Stuff we've planted out throughout spring and summer will grow and flourish giving us something to look forward to because Mother Nature doesn't do lockdown!

Have found my knitting pretty much keeps me sane and I love it when the weather permits to be able to sit outside on the Patio and also get some fresh air at the same time and also watch the antics of the Humming Birds although it is time for them to depart now for Mexico!!!!

Absolutely gorgeous Patricia. Your sister-in-law must spend hours keeping the garden so tidy.

Thanks Elaine, Loretta & Alan., I will be sure to pass your nice comments along to her. Her hobby has always been gardening she just loves to be out there amongst her flowers!! She has told me that people passing by have taken photos of same!! Afraid it is just too hot here in the summer for flowers to do that well but the weather over there is perfect for them!

Love that white fuschia Glenys. My pink ones are still flowering but looking bedraggled with the rain this morning.
My neria has been out for a couple of weeks now but is looking a bit battered this morning but the “Friendship” rose I got for my birthday is coming again.

Hi bee, good to see you posting.
Me and Mrs Percy Thrower are gearing up to the coming season.
We certainly learned from last year. We planted far to many tomatoes and in the end couldn't give them away. We also learned to only plant what you enjoy to eat.
We have one solitary parsley plant that survived the winter.
Happy growing peeps.

Looking good Keith! what have you planted? The only thing I am growing from seed are mini sunflowers in a pot! any ideas anybody when I should put them outdoors once they sprout? ( I am no gardener!) Oh, and two already growing geraniums, plus just bought a mountain ash even though my soil is mainly clay, always wanted one!

Thanks Lorretta.
At the back four squares we have runner beans and broccoli in each outside square.
Then we have Chard x 2, Mangetout and leeks.
Next are dounut turnip, grow again lettuce , little gems, beetroot and radish.
Front row, chives, parsley, marjamin, radish.
In the background I've just finished laying a base of paving flags for a summer house, commonly known as a man cave or a shed with windows

Great stuff Keith and also excellent advice in an earlier thread when you mentioned only growing what you like and need.
Just be careful cutting the grass around that bed.... last year most of my lettuce were full of grass cuttings thanks to Harry's overenthusiastic strimming

All of your gardens look lovely, full of colourful healthy plants. Summer really makes me feel more optimistic. Watching the flowers grow, and the birds nesting beats listenening to rain beating on the windows . Patricia, your Arbour looks beautiful and the smell of honeysuckle is a bonus. My garden is overrun with Iris, I had a lot last year after the daffs and tulips finished, but I think the iris bulbs have trebled. My lilies are a bit behind, although there are a lot of flowers they're not as big as normal. Like me they prefer to be warm and dry. Can't show you because like Loretta, I can't post pictures.
