Airports??? :o))

Sounds pretty perfect.. I do love seeing the blackbirds in the garden. Think we have a pair looking to nest in the big laurel.

Sounds lovely! I do like the scent from eucalyptus. This one you have is such an attractive colour.

Shirley, you’ve a beautiful collection of roses!!!
I’m envious! (My few roses that I have are almost opening up now)
I can almost smell the gorgeous fragrance of your roses from here..
I’m finding it difficult to chose a favourite. The orange ones are so eye catching! But they are all really lovely.
I’ve aphids on my roses, I bought a natural, organic spray, but it doesn’t seem to be effective 🙁
We haven’t had rain yet.. Saturday or possibly Sunday. OH has been out watering.

It’s been good to watch, when I can catch it!
All the female presenters are wearing colourful dresses to match the colourful show!!!
Not so keen on Monty’s doggy garden.. sorry if anyone is a fan!
Love dogs, but not the garden.

Brilliant Brian, very happy to see you here again! Everyone else will be pleased too!
No probs, Sheila 🤗

Attractive too, Julia. Love the shades of greens and golds.

I’m liking this trio too, very complimentary colours, Sheila.

Gorgeous colours, Karen. Lovely softness to this one.

It is Chris..thanks. We do have some lovely spots don’t we! Xx

Thanis Callie, it really does give you a boost, a breather between visits.. xx

Eileen, I knew you’d know both, such a lovely area! OH and I must take a trip over on the bike one day.

Thanks kindly, Karen, I stopped again yesterday at this spot, to catch up with emails and texts…the perfect place to set up a ten minute office ☺️

Thanks Sheila, it’s a nice spot.. pleased you’ve like xx

Apologies for my late reply everyone! Work stuff and puncture yesterday coming across the Humber Bridge 😵‍💫
Shirley, so pleased you’ve had a PM from Brian, that’s lovely - good to catch up! Xx

Brilliant info Grandad! That’s great 👍

Klahanie, I do hope we get to see his lovely garden on here again 🤞

That is gorgeous. I guess it has a very nice scent too.

Such beautiful roses grow in your garden and their colours all blend so well together. We didn’t get as much rain as we were expecting last night which was a pity. All the shades of your yellow roses are really lovely.

So dainty and so pretty with lovely colours.

Like you I didn’t think we had any this year and then all of a sudden it appeared all over the place!

He was so thrilled wasn’t he Sheila?! His garden was gorgeous in every way.

Thanks Chris x

Lol! No chance Shirley. I really hope this will be our last move.

I will try Adblock plus. Thanks HB :)

Thanks! I did see that plant last year in October and it’s lovely.

I’m hoping so Shirley, but keeping eucalyptus alive in pots is a challenge. You’re supposed to use airports.

Some are! :)

I agree. I was so pleased to see some sweet rocket appear from last year's planting.

Yes the scent of this rose is gorgeous (I only know it from a friend's garden). We just have one deep pink 'magic carpet' rose, so I don't have a favourite for scent.

Good idea Chris.
I enjoy the 8pm programme and was entertained by the lovely Japanese chap who gets so excited about winning. His Best Garden was perfect, and I also very much like the Avenade Garden (as a fan of Tom Massey!).

Thanks Penny. I quite like it but have acquired 3 clumps, so it evidently seeds itself proficiently! I expect I'll donate one of them to a gardening friend.

Looking forward to viewing that ... :o)

I bought several different types this year, so later I will do a blog showing them all off.

I bought a salvia nemorosa at Nyman's Gardens this year and it certainly looks very similar. I agree it isn't exactly spectacular but I was told it is excellent for bees. It is just opening the florets now so I'm hoping it might look prettier in a few days time!

Thanks Chris, the supermarket have a pale lilac one for sale now, I'm sorely tempted to buy one!

They definitely are not for my size of garden!

Thanks Sheila, it's so easy to propagate from cuttings too.

The Bees like it, I am trying to plant pollinator friendly plants now and it seems to be working!

Beautiful :-)

Looks lovely :-)

Thanks Homebird :-)

Thank you both :-)

😃 Josee!

Thanks Chris, hope you’re looking forward to a new greenhouse after such an upsetting happening 🤞.

Thanks for your lovely comments Sheila and Chris. When we opened our garden last year I was writing the name on peoples’ programmes every few minutes!

Gorgeous photos too 🙂.

Thanks Sheila and Chris - glad you like it!

Thank you Sheila, I do love it!

I thought the flowers were bugs at first!

Thanks Chrisx

Just can't grow these..they look lovely.

Hi Chris, I agree with you about Jo Thompsons garden..
It was very relaxed and romantic.Wonder if she will be tempted to do another one next year.At least the theme
is colour this year.I do enjoy watching it at both times.
