A lovely weekend pottering in the garden

Your garden is still colourful Lily. You got a lot done too :o)
Aren't those weevils horrible ... lol... and ugly !

Lily, your superb photo's only accentuate what is already a most amazingly wonderful and colourful garden.

The mix of your planting highlights so many great flowers and plants and once again, another brilliant blog.

Thanks for sharing your day. I'm quite busy at mo and falling behind with people's blogs/pics but keep getting drawn back....glad I did tonight as I enjoyed this blog a lot....:0)-

Public enemy no. 1......great pic though!!

Now I know what comes in my house weavels thank you for identifing them for me. Your garden is beautiful with a lovely selection of bright and colourful plants. Love the water scenes with the ducks and geese too. Hope you enjoyed your bath.:o))

Thanks Hywel. Yes they are ugly watsits aren't they but better than spiders! lol
Thank you too Dan, you're always so generous in your comments, glad you enjoyed it. I was rather pleased with the pic of the 'ugly one'! It's getting hard to keep up with it all even when you're not a busy person, I spend far too much time on here! :o)
The bath was lovely Morgana, just got out! Funny how those weevils come indoors isn't it?

I'm glad you managed to get such a good photo of that 'critter', Lily - now I shall know what to look for.
You've still got plenty of lovely flowers in your garden! It looks beautiful, still. :-))

It is I was worried incase it was a death watch beetle or bugs as I don't have a clue what they look like either

I have only seen one weevil in my house. It never came in again :o) Plenty outside though and they do more harm than spiders, but I know what you mean Lily.

garden still looks very colourfull lily, some pretty flowers there, nasty bug, not very nice, they eat everything underground roots to,,lay eggs below i think,,lovely pics of the lake, very scenic, glad you had a lovely weekend :o)

This sounds like the perfect late summer weekend to me Lily. You know I haven't been so lucky, never sat down for more than half an hour at a time since I was invaded, and tomorrow I've got the school run again. :~((

It has been a lovely week end for so many and almost Oct. your garden is still so full of colour Lily.

Wow! Lily what a great blog and some wonderful shots too, they are stunning, the picture of that vine weevil should be nominated, please add it to your pics and I will nominate it.

I'll second that as I want it in my favourites so I can find it again if I ever see one. Ugly looking thing. :~((

Wow! What colours!! Gorgeous! The vine weevil is horrible tho! Yeeucchh!

A lovely blog Lily and gorgeous pictures.
Your Pennisetum's beautful, i love them :)

Still so many colourful summer bedding plants !! This little 'Indian Summer' has really 'lifted' everything hasn't it ? Beautiful Lily, really beautiful !! :-)))

Thank you all for your kind comments. I have to say vine weevils are much easier to take pics of than bees! Yes San it's the underground larvae which do most damage. The first time I ever found one indoors, in my ignorance, I carefully put it outside in one of my containers - bad move, Weevil heaven!! OK Bob and Ian I'll put him in my pics for you :o)

Thanks Lily and how are you this fine and sunny morning?

Ah, so that's where the sun is hiding today then! It's said to be putting in an appearance later but cloudy for now. Just as well, as there's housework to do after all that time spent gardening! Thanks for asking, I'm fine today even if the weather's not. Lol

I'm sure it will come out sooner or later. Lol ;~))

Beautiful sedum - a perfect match for the Nerine. Lovely set of photos. Enjoyed the walk to see the ducks, too.

what beautiful colours
its amazing, I have hardly any colour left now
just the Autumn colours coming in

well done

x x x

Beautiful garden - I have had loads of slugs and snails this year and said to my son that when I go up to heaven there wont be god instead there will be a big snail looking down on me going "huh huh" and squishing me with a big foot (getting their own back!!)

Thank you Wagger, Mookins, and GS, glad you enjoyed a last look at summer's colour. I don't think it will last much beyond this week as it's supposed to be turning colder which will see most of it off.....ah well, at least I won't have to water it! ( and the ducks will still be there) :o) A snail, slug or vine weevil is definitely not the best thing to be!

Lily your garden is breathtaking. You have so much colour. Your garden is very neat and tidy too. Love the nerines :o)

Thanks Spindle. Sometimes I wish I had my previous large garden again, that definitely wasn't so neat and tidy but this one suits my protesting bones better even though it's sometimes a bit limiting. The Nerines are a new thing for me, haven't found the right spot for them yet so they're in a pot.

Well Lily you have done a brilliant job - dont suppose you have any photos of your last garden too?

I didn't take many Spindle as I wasn't a very good or interested photographer and the camera wasn't much good either! I'll have a look through them, see if I can find any 'in focus' ones! lol . GoY (and a digital camera) have improved my skills considerably but I'm still learning....

What a lot of colour you have! Wonderful. The lake looks a fab place to walk to...wish we had something like that near us.

We go there quite often Fluff, always plenty of ducks and geese to watch. I don't know if you saw the duck blog I did earlier this year, this is where we released the ducklings.

Fantastic pictures Lily, the Nerines and Sedum look fantastic and the vine weavel adorable...only kidding!! (about the beatle). I'm glad someone else has noticed the lack of rain in the southeast, elsewhere in the country no one believes me when I tell them we need some rain.

No Lily I haven't yet seen your duck blog...one of these days I'm going to sit down & go back thru' blogs I've missed...how long do you think I'd need? Lol!!

Oh only about 3 years Fluff, give or take a month or two! Lol
Glad you like the pics Rbt, including the ugly little beastie. The ground is so dry isn't it and I think it's been even worse over in East Anglia, at least my rain barrels have filled up once or twice this summer.

Mine are empty again Lily, ;~((

Mine was, but its filling up today again!!!!
