Happy after the storms ...

Beautiful TT - I can't wait til my garden matures and looks as gorgeous as yours (well I should say hope it looks as good as yours)

Thanks Scottish ... from your pics. I've seen, your garden is wonderful already ... :o)

Glad to see everything is ok, hope you wasn't lying awake all night worrying about it, Still looks fabulous :-)

Gorgeous Terra

Hi Willinilli. Thanks .. This morning a blackbird was actually having a bath in the raised bed... in the wet aubrieta ... Lol.

Hi Paul .. thank you :o)

Just lovely, and there is room for just one more right in the middle, get the catalogues out :))

Lol. Pim ... The gap where I trimmed back the helianthemum ?
Yes, I'll have to find something to go there... :o))

You've got some lovely shrubs TT, and lots of colour. It all looks very nice and interesting.

What a cheeky monkey that Pimp is! - dont take it from him Terra. I thought that was a paving slab in the middle so you could access the bed more easily. It all seems to have come through the rain remarkably unscathed thank goodness.

Thanks Hywel .. :o)))

Hi Poppy ...
the plants at the front are in a raised bed ...
it would be a very high paving ... Lol.

... yes, Pim is cheeky, but nice ... ;o)

Lovely photo, TT but where are Conker and Truffle? We had a little sunshine this afternoon but still breezy. The ducks are not helping my garden at the moment - I thought they had abandoned nest and departed but they all turned up again about 5am this morning, very noisily :)

Thank you, Gee ...
Yes, nice weather for ducks.
Conker and Truffle have a new bright green squeaky toy, so are 'otherwise engaged' ;o)

Wow Terra, still looks gorgeous there.. :-)

Thanks Surreylad ... the rain tried its best to flatten everything, but the plants and shrubs sprang back up defiantly. Lol. ;o)

Thanks Meadowland ..
more Exochorda pics on my blog ..
Yes, they are lovely shrubs :o)

Lovely and colourful - It doesn't look like there is a plant out of place! Sadly a few of my shrubs have suffered in the gales we had here last night :O(

Hi Tracey.. Thank you !
that's a pity the strong winds attacked your garden ... I hope you can salvage as much as possible ...

Very, very envious, TT ;)

Thanks, Karen ..
... nice to see some sun this evening :o)

Yay ... the plants I bought last Monday have been sitting waiting for attention... ;o)

Im afraid the bad weather still raged until late evening here, will have to until morning to see what damage my have occurred

Love this new angle shot of your garden TT - on my favourites, I'm glad your plants survived the storm :o)

OMG Terratoonie how beautiful does that look. You would never guess its been awful weather it looks like your garden has been under glass. Have you been cheating, is there a sun lamp hiding some where?

WOw thats so lovely! :)

Thanks Carole, Neena, G s, and Pixi ..
I hope none of your gardens has storm damage. This end part of my garden is quite sheltered, so no cheating, G s .. Lol.. :o)

This very lovely !

It looks so lovely TT!

Thank you Junna and Debbie :o)

Your garden looks lovely and colourful Terra. Nice little place to sit and have a cuppa....or glass of vino.

Looking lovely as always Tt.....we had such a beautiful day yesterday, back to the norm today though....:((.

Hi Linda ... yes, the bench looks inviting ...
I always intend to sit there more, but I end up gardening instead .. Lol.

Thanks, Janey.
Yes, we had lovely sunshine yesterday, but cold and damp again now !

Hi Terratoonie what a lovely quite little place to sit and smell your plants hope you take time out to enjoy:--

Hello Sheil ..
Thank you. This is a secluded corner of my garden, with lots of lovely scents from the flowers. :o)

Rather like part of my garden after the storms - bursting with vigour! Lovely planting! :o)

Thanks Nariz ..
the rain has certainly made everything grow ...
... a lot ! Lol.

Wow...your corner looks lovely and serene, nice planting.

Thank you, Lawley.
I'm pleased you like this secluded corner :o)

So many beautyful colours and plants thankyou terra. Tony

Hi Tony...
Thanks. Enjoy the holiday weekend :o)

lovely photo of your garden Terra :o)))

Hi Sandra ..
Thank you. :o)))

Thank you Homebird :o)

Beautiful garden you have there.so peaceful makes you want to sit in it and just enjoy how lovely it is.Thank you for the link.

Looks lovely Terratoonie, i have no luck with heathers at all... Im not surprised the blackbird was having a bath in luxury.

Hi Sylvie ..
Thanks and good luck with planting your Exochorda.

Thank you, Bill ... some heathers e.g.calluna, need ericaceous compost. It could be that your heathers were in the wrong type of soil [not quite like the Railway companies who complain about the "wrong kind of snow" Lol.]

Blackbird obviously thinks I have the right kind of plants for deep sea diving. ;o)

I think you just have green fingers and blackbird helpers, i planted my heathers surrounded in ericaceous compost and nope all doing badly..

Just beautiful!

Hi Bill...
I hope your heathers are doing better now.

Thanks Migra ..
Lots of rain this year in the UK ...
... my plants and shrubs are enjoying all the water. :o)

Your garden is gorgeous Terratoonie. Just so pretty in all your pics. Did you build the walls and the little wishing well yourself??

Hi Cosmosjane ..
Thanks .. Yes I built the raised bed from recycled brick sections, and the wishing well is a refurbishment of an heirloom which had been neglected before I received it. I cleaned it and painted it. :o)

Looks great TT. I've done a little dry stone walling in my garden, it's quite easily done (thank goodness) and looks quite rough which is what I like!!!

Thank you ... :o)))
