Wonderful.

Lovely photo.

You can get a spray from pet shops called Shaw's Repel-All.Here's a description of the product....Shaws Repel All indoor and outdoor dog and cat repellent. Specially formulated to keep pets away from your furniture, carpets or other places, indoors and out. This non-staining formulation is harmless to most furnishings and harmless to pets. The smell is naturally very unpleasant to animals and they quickly learn to avoid it.

Hope this is of some help.

Wonderful.

I agree Tastyg,there's always the hope for a better shot around the corner.

You've achieved the shot that you've been seeking.Congratulations.I'd be dead proud of this photo if I had taken it.

You softie.

The picket fence sets the garden off really well.

Excellent model.

Love the lifebelts

Hi Tasteyg,it's Bridie as in the Irish name.Apparently it means exalted.

Lovely,job well done.

I love these,one of my favourite Campanulas.

I agree with all the others,it's great.

I often go for small plants.I think they tend to settle in better than larger plants.Just need a bit more patience.

Well worth the work you put into it.

Lovely old machine.I'm definitely getting a push along ,especially as my old Flymo petrol is getting temperamental.Nothing more frustrating than wanting to mow the lawn and the machine not co-operating.

Hi Xela by new generation I mean the ones that are ultra easy to push along.I have happy memories of using a hand mower on my grannies lawn.

Excellent verse.

Hi Tinkerbelle,welcome to GOY.The one that first comes to mind is G.Rozanne.It starts flowering about now and continues until October.It has blue flowers with a white eye.It is quite vigorous so it will need at least a 10 inch pot.

The flowers are beautifully framed by the tree.

Looks like Campanula portenschlagiana - Dalmation Bellflower.

I agree wholeheartedly.

Contemplation in the depths of my vegetation does it for me every time.

Very effective.

They prefer acidic soil and never let them dry out or the flower buds will not form or if already forming will drop off.Try to water them with rain water if growing in containers.

I reckon it's Green Alkanet-Pentaglottis sempervirens

Your garden looking great as ever.

They mainly eat plant detritus but I suspect they'll have a go at very small seedlings.On the whole they are pretty harmless in my experience.

Dont put youself down Jacque.Cropping is part of the artistic process in photography.
