A Glorious Week in The Garden

what a lovely garden you have pansy! so pretty and so much interest ~ i spy a wine bottle and glasses too!!!

Stunning garden Carole,can see lots of hard work has gone into creating this, you must be really proud, love it, glorious........

Hi PP, can see why you`ve enjoyed your week of sunshine in the garden the plants have all come on at such a rate with all the sunshine weve had. Doesn`t seem two minutes when you and OH were putting that pond in and now it looks as if its been there forever.
A lovely garden to be proud of not only in the summer but some great shrubs and trees to give all year interest.

As always your garden is looking 1st class Carole , it's full of colour crammed with plants all looking disgustingly healthy , I like your new rockery area it will look great when the plants are fully established ,yes I could see the little frog :o) , we are back to rain today ,I might have guessed it would be because we are expecting our son and grandchildren down for the next week I don't think the weather is going to improve much over the next few days .........

your garden is just amazing Pp, beautiful plants, shrubs. ornaments, fish pond, a real picture

What a wonderful garden you have Pp. There is so much to see, absolutely lovely. Love that rockery too, it has come on so fast hasnt it.

How wonderful it is all looking,Carole..the rockery is coming on nicely..lovely contrasting colours in your borders..and was the wine for when you planted those bedding plants out,I see on your garden seat ? or were you having it first to get you motivated ?

Well,Carole..sad we didn't get to that garden centre..but good we found a better one ! :o)...your purse came in very handy for even more Alpines,didn't it ? ..I won't mention the afternoon tea at the farm tearooms,or the lovely homemade scones with jam and cream,you forced on me and Russell,at your house later..not after the Fish and chip lunch !...We are still sooo full ! Thanks for a lovely day as usual,and your hospitality..it was great...and to walk round your beautiful garden was wonderful.:o)...xx

Awww Sandra should be me thanking you both for taking us first out for lunch at Compo's then to that fantastic GC, even though I came back a little lighter in pocket lol and then the farmhouse Tearooms, we both enjoyed your company and so pleased we met through Goy! so here;s to the next outing soon love xx

We are pleased to have met through here too..:o).I bet you had those Alpines planted before we got home !.you won't be out there today,judging by the awful weather ..cold and very wet !..we were so lucky to have a decent day,weren't we ? .Hope Harry hasn't eaten the rest of the scones for breakfast .:o) Lol...looking forward to our next outing before long..xx

Morning Sandra What a difference a day makes! cold and very wet here too, I did place the alpines but was saving the planting for today [no chance!] so will wait for the sun to come back and hope it doesnt take too long!

Harry hasnt finished the scones off yet but probably afternoon snack lol
Just going to have a look at insurance quotes and have a relaxing day;0) hope you have a nice day too ;0)

We are doing the same..catch up on some pre recorded stuff on TV,and stay warm..maybe a little nod after lunch..:o) Good luck with the quotes..:o)

Can't believe how much your little rockery has grown, it looks so established already and the rest of the garden, as usual, looks fantstic. Heavy rain here today so a good opportunity for me to do some catching up with GoY :)

Your garden looks wonderful Carole, hard to think we had all that sunshine so recently, people were moaning about the heat! I love all of it and your bird table too:-)

I really enjoyed my "walk" around your garden. You must work very hard to keep it looking so pretty
