Summer

Your garden looks lovely Dawn. Your Lythrum is magnificent. I wish mine would grow like that.
I hope you are all right ... haven't seen you for a while :)

Dawn your garden is as gorgeous as ever - really beautiful.
Are you part of the Open Gardens scheme?

As Steragram says ,what else would we expect,beautiful

Thanks Hywel, Stera.
Hywel, the Lythrum has its feet wet so I guess it's happy and yes I'm well thanks and hope you are too, I'm busy all the time, I need to retire!
I don't open the garden Stera.

Hi Brian ? you're too kind.

Guys, sorry about some of the photos being wrong way around, taken on my iPhone, no idea why it does this

Thanks Julia ?

Wow what a beautiful garden.

fabulous!! Agapanthus is my favourite flower of the moment!!

Thanks Callie. Hi Sandra, I hope life in your beautiful part of the world is good. Yes agapanthus are so lovely and I have a white one but blue still my fave

Looks beautiful, Dawn. I wish the pond in Sweden looked as good as yours. Maybe next year......I still have your list. :0)

Thanks Linda, I hope you're well. Your pond will get there, once you clear some trees and get it in full sun I'm sure it will be fine.

I have lots of the blue Dawn one white one struggling for space..needs moving.. been a crazy summer here..finally settling down and now I have chance to catch up on here..

this looks stunning dawn. glad you are well. but retirement brings even more things to do to keep you busy :o)

Your garden is looking stunning, lawns so green and colourful borders.

Thanks Siris, the constant rain helps.
Hi Seaburn, that's what worries me, being available for family to give me more jobs.
Sandra, you're always dashing around with all your work at the nursery, I grew 6 grafted tomato plants this year, I must tell you how they've faired compared to my own grown from seed x

It looks gorgeous as always Dawn some lovely colours there , I spy the Miscanthus its grown really well it makes a huge impact in the background .. :o) x

Thanks Amy, yes, your baby miscanthus is a big boy now, your plants and ones grown from your seed adorne my garden and I treasure them all ?

Good to see you Dawn, with amazing lovely photos no matter which way round! Your Lythrum having its feet wet is obviously ideal for it . . . I gave one to my neighbour who's put it beside his pond, and his is twice the size of mine now :)

Hi Dawn! Your gardens are gorgeous. we've had decent amounts of rain here too and things are growing huge and bountiful! What var. of ligularia is in your last pic, please? love those blossoms!

Thanks Sheila, I hope you're well. I have Loosestrife in my beds as my clay keeps them moist.
Hi Lori, how's life in your beautiful part of the world? I think it's L dentata ?

Lovely photo's of what is a well loved garden....

Loved it is, thanks Lin x

We've had strange weather, Dawnsaunt. Lots of moisture though, which makes things lush.
I have L. dentata Othello... :-)) mine's not blooming yet, somehow it looks more interesting than mine!

Your garden has that wonderfully mature look that makes you want to wander & lose yourself in.
I wish my ligularia would grow like yours.

Lori, it's been wet here for a week or so but without the rain the garden would look tired at this time of year here.
Hi Green :-) thank you. I moved 2 of my ligularia to the pond edge a few weeks ago as they were drooping in the beds yet this one, on the opposite bed is well happy, slugs, snails are a problem of course but they certainly don't like being in dry soil

Gorgeous plants. Love the Lythrum.

Thanks Eirlys

Just catching up Dawn..... love your garden...... always have and always will.....so many beautiful flowers too!!

Bless you! Your words mean alot from an expert like yourself ?

Oh come on.......self taught amateurs that's what we are!

Hahaha
