mid summer garden

Your garden is so beautiful Cristina, I never ever get bored looking at garden pictures, it is my greatest pastime. You have so much going on in there and love all the ornaments, my kinda garden Cristina. :))))))

This is lovely, you Have sooo much colour, I really like the pond and the woodland area
I didn't realise those tall spiky yellow flowers would grow in the shade - have I got that right?

That was smashing Cristina, totally amazing, how do you find the time to keep it looking so good?
Love the montages too (or whatever they call a group of piccies, Sticki will know)

thanks every one ........... tet ,yes montages is right lol ....... i was going to do the whole blog in them ....... but carnt find the others drrrr ...... haha , o well !!
do you mean fox tails .... sticki , yes they like moist shade or they go limp , the yellow loosestife will go anywhere .
thanks michella did you see my toadstools ........... got them at cheshire county show £20 , bargin lol ......

Looks great - love how you did those pictures at the start! It is also so cool how we have so many of the same plants - is that red one a Ligularia dentata 'Osiris Fantaisie' - we have one of those with other two - which I love your Ligularia przewalskii spikes - doing great. The salix hakuro nishiki is another fav in my garden you have :))) Creeping Jenny and Heucheras look excellent as it all does - the pond is very nice :))))

yes i think thats wot its called , kept seeing it around and loved the leave shape , not surpossed to be tooo invasive . but dont mind if it is lol ....... got it from cheshire county show £ 7 00 , not bad price !!! .... the p. w are huge this year ........... bt 6 ft. got 3 of those .

I dont know if they are foxtails Cristina, it's the ones in the 16th picture.

Your garden is wonderful! You've created such a lot of lovely nooks and crannys, and loads of colour, the white lilies are absolutely gorgeous! And you say you're still learning about gardening, I think you have made a beautiful garden with a really magical atmosphere! :0)

Awww! Ok then, I just settle for looking at your lovely pics instead! Night night, Cris!!x

nite hun .......... thanks 4 looking x

It is looking amazing Cristina, the Ligularia are not fox tails that is Eremurus Sticki, as Cris says they love the damp or they wilt like mad, they look very good there, mine do not get enough wet. You have worked wonders in a very short space of time, well done.

You've got a very pretty garden Chris. It looks full and interesting with lots of little places to explore :o)
Your pond is pretty ....

That is fantastic,Cristina..I can't believe it is such a young garden,it looks like its been there forever..Love it all ! :o)

Cristina, sit down - I think you need a rest! You've done so much to your garden - it's fantastic and so colourful.
A very professional blog too and it's always a treat to look at your photos.
Keep up the good work matey, but sit down now and then . . . lol! :-))

Definitely lots of lovely colour and some real gems of plants that you've chosen. Really lovely piccies and a pleasure to have a peak at your garden..

Thanks DD
