A Colourful Welcome Home!

What a lovely sight to come home to :o)

Very colourful. Lovely garden PP.

A real riot of colour - so satisfying to see all your seedlings grown up and flowering so beautifully.

How nice to be welcomed home to such a beautiful array of colour :O)

It's looking so beautiful,Carole,and I agree,it was lovely to see all the colour in our gardens,when we came home..so many changes in only a week..I'm sure the late Chritopher Lloyd would have approved of the vibrant colours,when we visited his garden at Great Dixter last week..maybe not on the same scale as his,but just as pleasing ..so,is your last comment a little hint to be off on another little jaunt ??? lol x

Its looking great Pansy and so full, jumbles as you put it are always good to my eyes and isn't it lovely to see so many roses after last years weak efforts....

Thanks Hywel, having been to see Great Dixter the day before we left for home I was so pleased to see that I have a similar planting Style only much smaller;0)

Thanks Cinderella pleased you like it;0)

Yes Steragram, I was noly saying that I wasnt going to grow many plants from seed next as it is so time consuming, but looking around it all seems so worthwhile now ;0)

Thanks Olive it certainly is colorful lol

Hi Sandra,Thanks for your nice comments and I think Christopher has competion dont you lol
and you never know whats around the corner do you!!

Thanks Lincs I do like Jumbles, dont plan them just put the plants in wherever there is room and nearly always enjoy the results! and yes I agree the Roses are lovely this year;0)

Was going to say the same thing Pp. keep going away and coming back to this glorious sight, it's a delight.

Thanks Grandmage , I wasnt sure what to expect with all the hot and dry weather, but it certainly gave everything a boost and made me more apprecative of my little plot ;0))

Absolutly glorious

All looking great carole... glad you had a good break in Eastbourne...

I can imagine Pp. and I know what you mean, I always worry about the garden when we are away!! :)

Thanks Pamg, one thing thats so nice about coming home from a holiday the gardens always there with something new to cheer you up ;0)

Thanks Holly we had a great holiday, good company , glorious weather, and lots of laughs;0)

:))))))))))

Beautiful photos, PP. Glad you enjoyed your time away but isn't it lovely to come home :) I have never seen 'Double delight' before - absolutely stunning - it looks almost unreal!

I think so too Gee, fabulous holiday but nothimg like your own bed!

Come on,Carole you loved those two duvets ! Lol xx

Goodness me Carole your garden is positively bursting with a riot of growth and colour! What a super sight when you got home. Your neighbour has also done a great job of watering the baskets etc. We are not so lucky unfortunately, the only time we risked asking a neighbour/friend to water while we were away for a short break in the summer, we came back to baskets gasping and half dead. I'm now very reluctant to go away for more than a couple of days in the summer months. Do you think your neighbour would be willing to come to this side of the Pennines?
I particularly loved your roses, especially 'double Delight' that is very unusual.

Hi Jan
Thanks for your lovely comments, what a shame you havent got a reliable neighbour like me [I will ask Marie if she can nip over and water yours for you[ may only be once a day though, petrols pricey these days lol]. The rose you admired is very unsusual Harry bought it for my birthday, it was supposed to be Margret Merril [a white rose] obviously had wrong label, it took me ages to try and identify it and Im still not 100 per cent its Double Delight] but I love it and the blooms last a long time too;0)

Hi Sandra lol not an experience I want to repeat in a hurry lol

You know I love your garden Carole, and this is why, beautiful:-))
