That is just lovely, Becky! It looks like things are still pretty warm over there, almost close as warm as they are here. Lovely pictures I really need a new camera so when I start gardening in my new home I can do the same and share a lot pictures with you all

We will look forward to that Trellum!

Hehehe, but don't expect a mega huge garden D: I'll just have a small piece of yard, but I might also do something about the front I've big plans for the backyard, the houses are so close together and think we need some privacy... what do you recommend?

Whenever the weather is good then everything must grow. We had a lot of rain as from July. Now my flowers have grown big. I also have vegetables for August and probably September. What I do not have are fruit trees, which means that I will have to buy.

We have planted fruit trees, we have pear, apricot and plums. But the very unfortunate thing is ants have invaded all of our fruit trees this year, so no fruit. Very Sad. Your flowers are beautiful, that is one thing the ants have not invaded in our yard this year. We also have many of the same amazing vibrant flowers as you do.

Thanks Becky , I lack late colour in the back garden so these are doing great
and both stand up well to all this rain....
Pink Gin needs to be more available as well as its a cracker of a plant and easy to propagate from leaf cuttings taken now .

Lovely and bright Planet Max. It is great to introduce some color, I agree.
I was looking at my daffodils today with the blue bearded irises in the background and intend digging up a few irises and planting them amongst the yellow daffodils so next years display will be quite striking I hope. After all complementary colours are a basic design element so it should work well. What do you reckon?
