July already!

I often get blurred photos if I press the shutter too hard in my excitement of seeing something special. Usually birds/butterflies. I did have some excellently blurred ones of an impressive oak tree. I started to fall over!

Plants are looking good. As usual Sheila.

We all do the blur sometimes! All the plants are lovely - especially the Acers and the dwarf copper beech - how big does it grow eventually?

Wales is open at last so we are looking forward to a visit from our son in a few weeks time!

yes... I know exactly what you mean, Sheilabub! I love the pic of the copper beech... and everything is looking so healthy and well cared for. congrats!

Many thanks Eileen.

Sue, good news about your son! I won’t let the copper beech get much bigger ... I like it as a dwarf tree 🙂.

That’s kind of you, Lori, thank you.

Thanks Julia ... glad you like the dish. I was so happy to find it as I’d been looking for a while.

Your photos are fine Sheila and I can see from them how lovely your garden is :)

Thank you Hywel, you say the nicest things 🙂.

:D

Delightful photos, love your sieboldii, much better than mine.

Aww Siris, thank you - just luck sometimes 🙂.

Don't apologise for the blurred pictures, they're excellent! Your garden is beautiful.

I've always fancied loropetalum, is it hardy ? Such a beauty. You have a lovely garden Sheila:-)

Thanks very much Julia!

Ba thank you. I put my Loropetalum in the greenhouse during the cold months - it’s in a pot so that it can be moved as it’s tender 😕.

No greenhouse here, not got the room. Maybe I could bring him into my garage which is not too dark, I've over wintered some delicate plants in there before. They are beautiful:-)

I agree with Julia, I like the wide dish with flowers in at the front of the greenhouse, it’s a pretty display idea. Your acer is looking very attractive too! The clematis is a pretty colour!

Thank you Kate . . . glad you like my July highlights!

Beautiful, the dish is gorgeous :-))

Thanks Daylily 🙂.

Most of my photo's look a bit blurred to me ,sometimes,Sheila..but then again I just have to point ,click and hope for the best ! lol.I love your Orange Dream,and also your pretty dish.I didn't see any Calabrachoa this year,but managed to save a White one from last year.You wouldn't think your garden is fairly new,as it looks so well established already.I love it all too .:o)

That’s so kind Sandra, thank you 🙂.

Sheila, I hope my Acer 'Orange Dream' grows to look as good as yours. It seemed to be at a standstill so I changed the soil to Ericaceous, rather than a mix of garden soil and compost and put it in a slightly bigger pot, pleased to say it's actually putting growth on.

The Clematis Sieboldii is stunning!

That sounds perfect Shirley! Mine has never looked so good, and I think it must be because it’s in a sheltered corner, out of the pesky wind. Thanks for your comment🙂.

:o))

Thank you Sheila - that’s a nice comment 🙂.

Just catching up......lovely to see your new garden taking shape....it all looks beautiful..you must be very 😊.

I am Angela ... happy and relieved 🙂 ... thanks.

I can imagine.....

... and it’s so easy to look after, I can just potter 🙂
