I must apologise for not answering any comments over the last few weeks……we have had an ongoing problem with the broadband and wifi connections…..so frustrating.
Just crossing my fingers it has been resolved.
Below are a few general photos for you to see.The wet weather has certainly accelerated the growth of shrubs….it’s been constant trimming.

Beautiful garden

What a lovely green, peaceful garden you got. As you've got a few shrubs in your garden can you recommend any for all year interest? (Not conifers) My garden is mainly planted up with perennials and I'd like to introduce some colour and structure gradually...

Your garden is looking very good ML ;o) I wish my lawns were as lovely as yours look! I will say that I'm pleased with the David Austin Roses now, at long last they've established themselves - Thanks for your help with them and also the tips... ;o)

It's looking lovely,and so well cared for,Julia..Glad you have your Internet fixed now..we don't realise how much we use it..I guess you spent more time in your garden instead..always something we can find to do ..Lol..

Thank you to all of you for the kind comments.....Bloomer,I wish we could do without the internet.....life would be so much simpler.......the interruption in connection did allow more time in the garden........
Hello Tracey good to hear from you.....I feel this year has been quite a good one for roses.....so pleased yours are thriving.....how is the arch?
Amsterdam,there are a few I could suggest which need very little attention ......Nandina Domestica Obsessed,Cistus hybridus Gold prize,Lophpmyrtus majis dragon and Spirea x vanhouttei 'Pink ice'(a very pretty shrub)Hope this helps!

Your garden is absolute perfection Meadowland. I don't know how you do it.

That is kind of you Stera.......but if you were able to have a closer look there are many faults......since the Wifi failure there has been more attention on it!

You wouldn't be normal if there weren't, but they don't show and that's the main thing...

Thank you meadowland. Much appreciated. :)

I looked them all up and I will be trying to get the Nandina and the Spirea. They're on my shopping list!

The arch is looking very established now with the clematis starting to flower. Princess Diana and Asao are both clamouring over the top of the arch to meet! ;o)

What a gorgeous garden! Your roses look fabulous.

An immaculate garden which looks beautiful. The roses are lovely with such healthy foliage. We have had a major struggle with black spot this year.

That is soul destroying,Chris.......I have had the same in previous years until I was speaking to a rose enthusiast who told me that the spraying(if you do)must start just when the new foliage emerges and then repeated every 2 weeks......quite a chore when you have so many.....but seems to be giving results.

Amsterdam,glad you liked the suggestions.....do show us when they are planted.
15 Jun, 2017
Tracey,do you have any photos of it for us to see please?
