END OF JULY, PLENTY OF COLOUR.

Your garden is bursting with colour, BA and looking great. Did you cut back the hardy gs after first flush to have them flowering so profusely now? Love the mix of Shasta daisies, hemerocallis, achillea, eryngium etc. - really pretty.

Beautiful garden

Thanks Tuesday bear, I don't do anything with the geraniums, these two varieties flower for ages and this year they've grown MASSIVE each single plant covering about 6 square feet, must be all the rain:-)

Oh, will have to get some. Love geraniums - such 'good do-ers' and so unfussy.

Ooh, what a wonderful selection of plants you have Ba.....gorgeous colours, love the geraniums and the crocosmias....perfect seating spots too.....just lovely!...:o))

Beautiful, lots and lots of colours..love it! :)))

Looking lovely but don't see much evidence of you being ruthless...can't imagine where the gaps are in such a lush abundance of plants and flowers :-D

I love your pond, great design and use of plant material.

Wow waht amazing colour in your garden! lovely blog :)

What a pretty garden!

That is a beautiful garden,Ba..so much structure and colour..I love it..it is a real credit to all the work you have done in it..and I like the pond area very much..:o)

Lovely gargen BA - hope you're very proud of it!

Its really looking good Ba, so much colour to admire, it does a garden good to be ruthless sometimes but my problem is the fact that I can never throw things out so end up moving spare plants elsewhere which then overcrowds another part, lol....
Photo`s are lovely....

What a wonderful colourful garden :o)

so much color. Love the geraniums!

Thank you Drc and Janey, I was despairing earlier this month:-)

Thanks michaella and Julie, I dug out a Solanum and chaerophyllum the other day, well most of the chaerophyllum, I'm still trying to get the rest out...it had gone berserk and although it's ok, I feel I could use the space better:-)

Thanks Dianne, Pixi and Diggin for your kind comments:-)

My head's getting bigger Bloomer, after what you say ...I'm going to pat myself on the back:-)

Sheila, I do feel amazed to have such a lovely garden. I copied lots of ideas from GOY:-)

I've always been too soft to kill anything Lincs ....even lily beetles ...but not this year. If anything doesn't look good or earn its place....out it comes. I've stamped on lily beetles along with my guilt too. Can't kill slugs and snails though:-)

Thanks Hywel, it all perked up with the sun:-)

Thanks Laurum, they just look after themselves:-)

Everyone deserves their moment of glory,Ba..this is yours! :o)...

Wow, its looking great BA, so much colour.
Im halfway through being ruthless in mine, its like a jungle out there!
Hopefully weather wont be too bad this week & I can get some more done. If not I'll pop up & have a glass of vino with you on that beautiful patio :-)

What a lovely colourful garden you have Ba. Very nice indeed. Love the roses.

Soooooooooo much colour BA...I'm so jealous..lol!
I like how you say a stone heart from now on - how long will that last?
Your garden is gorgeous!

Eh up Willi, you're very welcome, red or white? The beautiful patio isn't really and needs cleaning, could you bring a power washer or something when you come?:-)

Thanks Cinders, I never thought they'd do much this year after all the bashing they got from the rain etc, but come the sun, came the roses:-)

Hiya Scottish, can I be a colour expert too?:-)) All this good weather has kept me away from pc, no idea how I'll catch up. Going to buy nippon today for the ants in the porch.....see still ruthless. I do admit to feeling bad about it though, but the blighters will be in the house next, if they're not already, I'll just not have to think about them in their death throes under my very feet ...Oh life is hard :-(

gorgeous views! love the seating area and I want the patio open doors - all so well presented , the pond has lots of interest and very colourful garden

Thanks Paul, the only problem with the patio doors is that occasionally a bird will fly into them. Normally just stunned momentarily, but rather upsetting:-)

Rose wine BA thankyou :-)
I dont think I'd trust myself with a presure washer around all them beautiful plants! Lol.

Flippin eck Willi, you mean I've got to go out and buy a rosé (very feminine by the way) and you're not even bringing a power washer?:-)

Feminine! Ha.
OK just knock up a jug of Pimms & if you stand between the washer & the plants I'll do it :-)

You're on:-)

Your gonna get wet! Lol.

O my God, that is wonderful with colour and style.

Thank you so much Johnjoe :-)

Colour and Style guru now BA :))))))

Indeed Scottish .... there's no holding me now:-)

Right, having seen that lovely seating on the patio, i'm just setting off to sit there and have a glass of something delicately chilled and refreshing - preferably also alcoholic :o)

You're welcome Jane:-)
