A few garden pics in mid August.

Lovely purchases Kate, and great news about your hedgehog! We used to see them regularly in our previous garden, but never here. What a delightful treat for you 🙂.

Thanks so much, Sheila 😊
I'm going to pick up a few more plants tomorrow hopefully.
Yes, I'm tickled pink to have a hedgehog visiting again! I'm hoping to catch him/her myself.

When we had our garden gate replaced we had the new one cut higher and the hogs use that for entry to our garden. Small adjustments make all the difference to them. Another idea is to cut out a small lower section of fencing so they can cut through from one garden to the next without hindrance. We also leave out the leftover cat food scraps at night and we have 2 regular visitors. You will become attached to your little visitor!
Pink is obviously your colour this year, Kate - pretty in pink!

Wonderful to have a hedgehog visiting you :) and I'm glad you were able to buy a few seasonable plants.
Pretty photos :)

Wonderful he has found you Kate...we have a 'slightly'bigger visitor here....a badger seems to be desperate to get into our compost area.We daren't leave any food scraps out....

Lovely photos Kate, glad you managed to get the plants you wanted.Is the second photo down a salvia ? please.
How lovely to have a visiting hedgehog , I am envious .

You still have some lovely colour there Kate.
It's great you have a hedgehog and a frog too!
I did find droppings once which I know where from a hedgehog but have never seen it.
The last two years, my friend gave me frogspawn for my little pond, but after developing into little tadpoles, I never saw them again and wonder if a cat or fox having a drink and got them.

lovely blog. lucky your re hedgehog. Yes we're in need of rain. The forecast keeps promising it but then it doesn't deliver.

great photos.

Ahh fantastic about the hedgehog, all looking good :-))

Lucky you, to have a hedgehog. I haven’t even seen one anywhere for years. Good idea to buy some Dahlias for some late colour. Ty for putting a photo of Eve on. First time I’ve seen her!

Thank you everyone for your wonderful comments!!! Apologies my reply is late, I've had such a hectic 2 weeks at work..
Callie, yep, it's a salvia.
Rose, we introduced frogspawn years ago and our fish ate the lot!
Ange, the lengths we go to for our special visitors! Pink is definitely my choice of colour this year!
Julia, a badger, crikey!!! I don't envisage ever seeing one in our garden..is it still visiting?
Thanks again, everyone x
