Just been out doing a bit of ho-ing and found that I still have a little bit of colour left in the garden.
I jsut took the pics..was nice and sunny..and guess what..yep the heavens opened up! Well hopefully its just a shower and I can go back out to finish it.

The Agapanthus is still doing great

THis Snapdragon has jsut grown in the last week! I thought this plant had died too! ALong with the deep purple Nicotiana it makes a pretty section down in the corner of the garden.

I have all sorts of different coloured Nicotiana and I love this pinky purple one in front of the yellow hedge.

Some white ones in a dark corner

ANd look what jsut started flowering

Well at least the Parthenocissus knows what time of year it is! Going beautifully red now

CLose up

Still a few roses around the Secret Door

And finally..THe Chamomile curtesy of Lulu has taken to the grass..I’m scared to mow it jsut now incase it turfs it out..what do you think Lulu?

Very nice. I love Nicotianas, but haven't got them this year. They've got a wonderful scent haven't they ...
Are you going to have a chamomile lawn ? That would be lovely :o)
