Wow once again! I hope it all behaves itself while you are away from it. One of those white and blue Centaureas has just come to live in our garden but hasn't been planted yet.

I fancy the idea of a damson wood...and that shrubby honeysuckle is new to me as well. Hope you will be back in action as planned.

Oh now I am pleased I have managed to sort my Goy out, I might have missed a meander around my favourite garden, Ob you have made my day, I've always enjoyed the tour around what I always refer to as your estate, you never disappoint me, the photo's are a joy to see, next best thing to actually being there, I like the new slate bed and will be looking forwards to seeing it progress as you plant it up, thankyou Ob for another peep, the photo's are lovely.....

Your garden must take hours and hours of work to keep it looking so good, same amount of time to show us all those beautiful photos. By the time I got to the end, I had forgotten what was first, senior moments. I can always look again and again.

Wonderful. How will your amazing garden manage without you?!

The shrubby Honeysuckle is Lonicera Hack's Red.

The Pergola has a mixture of Jasmines and Viticella clematis growing over it.

I`ve just enjoyed taking a stroll round your wonderful garden, thank you.

You have a truely stunning garden and it brings such pleasure taking a meander around. I have 4 damson trees here that I've got high hopes for this year, 2 years ago, previous owner hacked but so last year they didn't even get blossom on but this year they were covers :-)

Thank you Owdboggy I bet it smells lovely when the Jasmine is out pretty mixture.

What a wonderful garden, something to aspire to. I did manage to weed out the thistles the other day and some nettles. I bet they haven't the nerve to show their heads in your garden. All the plans are stunning and I discovered the name of one I have (the Libertia Grandiflora) which I didn't know the name of. I can't believe that you have so many out yet, my Polygonum is nowhere near in that much growth yet. Keep up the good work and thank you for posting so many wonderful pictures.

The weeds are there, they just do not show up in the photographs.

what a lovely blog.
Your garden is stunning and as already said so well stocked. Such interesting planting.

What a great garden and what a lot of work you have done to make it so good- loved the walk around it. Thank you I might pinch a couple of your ideas if you don't mind? Really inspirational!
