The garden is still giving us pleasure, a few pots are doing well.
This is Festuca glauca “Elijah Blue” and Fuchsia R>A>F.
We also have;
Trailing begonia with euphorbia.Also a pot of Echeveria “Black Prince”.
Pot 1:Trailing begonia. Pot 2. Mixed. Pot 3:Heuchera.
A large pot at base of arch with “Ange`lique” a patio Clematis grows to 3-4ft.
A couple of Roses are giving a second flush such as;
Aloha
and Dixieland Linda which is a sport of aloha, seen here peeping through the coreopsis.
and as you can see,
Coreopsis verticillata “moonbeam” shown with crocosmia “Lucifer” well the`re flowering their socks off.
and the Musk Mallow is making a good show lightening the bottom of the garden.
So as I said at the begining despite the heavy rain we have had and are still having all is not too bad. So its a case of looking through the window and waiting for some lovely sunshine so we can do what we gardeners do best and get out there and garden.

What alot of lovely colour you have in your garden and we definitely needed the rain but not the slugs that come with it'I love your elf, Stroller. He looks full of mischief! Your crocosmia is amazing. Mine hasn't flowered yet.

excellent plants Stroller - the rain can sometimes help it out - seems to have done well for you. Given me some more ideas for plants ;))))))))

Thanks you all for your kind comments, I just wish we could share the rain out more fairly but glad to see you eventually got some Olive
Stripes sorry to hear you lost your lucifer, I`ve ended up with one in the front garden, haven`t a clue how it got there..I shouldn`t moan, as you say Pixi it does make the garden lush looking better than parched and arid.
Yes Shirley it is an old Coal scuttle, its seen better days but just couldn`t throw it away.
Ideas for more plants Paul, that made me chuckle where on earth would you put them.lol.
