In the garden today


Another angle.

My little Salix Flamingo tree I was talking about to Annie.

Last one - promise. :slight_smile:


My lovely perfumed Darcey Bussel rose with a Peony.

A Stunning show of beautiful blooms Mups.

I didnā€™t realise you had one of those lovely flamingo trees. :slight_smile: It does look very pretty with the owl. Iā€™m still waiting for mine to arrive in the post. Looking forward to planting it. I saw some of your ā€œspecialā€ garden gnomes on sale at BM today!

Lovely garden,Kazzā€¦your grass looks well watered and fedā€¦or is it Astro turf?..:-)ā€¦I ask,because I have never seen a lawn so beautifully green.

Thank you Annie.
Iā€™ve got two of the little Willows, thatā€™s how I knew what yours was. :slight_smile:

A stunning garden Mups ā€¦ how you manage to keep it like like with 5 dogs is amazing! :smiley:

Love the meerkats peeping through the dahliasā€¦ :slight_smile:

Instead of being out in the garden at the moment, it badly needs weeding, Iā€™m sat here trying to get into the mindset to do itā€¦ And Failing. Sigh. :blush:

Thank you Mags.

The dogs wee makes awful patches on the grass, which I am continually re-seeding, but other than Gertie (again :roll:) who meddles with things and pinches my plant labels, leaves, twigs, and any little wooden plant supports, the older ones mostly leave things alone. :smiley:

Gert was out there digging up and eating Hyacinths and Daffodils in the dark one night last year. When I realised what she was up to, it ended up at a late night out-of-hours veterinary visit to be injected and get her vomitting quickly as they are very toxic.
My fault, I should have noticed what she was up to quicker. :frowning: She felt very sorry for herself that night so I slept with her to keep a close eye on her till morning.

One of my beautiful Agapanthus from last year.
I have got loads in bud at the mo, some bi-coloured, some white and others the most beautiful deep, royal blue, so will post more in a couple of weeks when they are in flower properlyā€¦

The one in the picture below is called ā€˜Queen Mumā€™ and is actually deep blue down in the ā€˜throatsā€™ of each petal. It is nearly as high as me and some of the blooms were 12" across last year. Beautiful.

I love you superbum Mups. :cool:

Thatā€™s unusual.

I know the feeling.

Wow! All the gardens are looking lovely.

Have been away leaving my brother to keep an eye on my garden .
Result disaster .
We no longer have a lawn itā€™s a hayfield and moreover a flattened hay field .
All my strawberries have died dried to a frazzle .
Ditto other plants in pots .
The wildflower bit has down well.
His feeble excuse -itā€™s good for the bees !

The wildflower bit

( the rest is not so much wild as positively feral )

The strawberries ( yes that is the lawn behind them )

Aah, what a shame Muddy.

Your wildflowers still look pretty though, but I must admit the pots look pretty grim! :frowning:

Someone wasnā€™t doing as he was asked Muddy. what a shame. the wild garden still looks nice though. i would just buy him socks for Christmasā€¦ or maybe nothing. :cry:

Thatā€™s what I get him anyway !:slight_smile:

That explains it. :mrgreen:

Your wildflowers are beautiful Muddy.
