Early June evening stroll round the garden

I don't even know which is my favourite, so many lovely plants......especially the coral bark acer, eleagnus, whitebeam and viburnum.

Thanks Sticki . . . you were quick! Are you having a lovely sunny evening too?!

I love the Coral bark Acer Sheila... It's a lovely sunny evening here too! :o)))

You have such a gorgeous garden Sheila, the raised box bed is spectacular and I so love the Viburnum mariesii.
We have had a lovely sunny day here and I have spent most of the afternoon washing the leaves on my Trachelospermum jasminoides its covered in sooty black from cushion scale (its only about 10ft x 5ft) and its going to take a couple of days to wash all the leaves before spraying, but I would hate to lose it.

Beautiful garden Sheila, I love your eleagnus 'quicksilver'.

Many thanks Petaltracey, Stroller and Jaykaty: yes, I love the Quicksilver too . . . did you notice the "sucker" we managed to transplant?! When it blooms, its tiny flowers have a gorgeous scent :)

I am thank you, lovely lunch outside, walk in the park and very good Italian ice cream! I'm in London!

Jolly good . . . visiting family?!

I love that raised bed, full of my kind of plants and looking fabulous, love the coral bark acer too, so pretty.

also had a busy day in the sunny garden. also managed to line dry 4 loads of washing. :o)
your garden looks wonderful shelia.

Yes Sheila, oldest son

The garden looks beautiful Sheila. The weather has been great here, too. I planted up some baskets. Everything has been so late this year, I can't believe it's already June. Fingers crossed for a good spell!

Thank you Louisa.

Thank you Seaburngirl, that's very kind :)

Thanks Susanne . . . yes, I finally got my "bedding" out this weekend too. And had an outdoor swim this morning: won't it be great if this warm spell lasts!

It surely will!

lovely pics sheila and your garden is full of lovely plants and shrubs, like that coral bark acer, spreads out nicely, would look lovely overhanging my pond lol

Cheers San!!

It soon turned cold when the sun moved behind the rooftops but it was a beautiful day Sheila, your garden always looks lovely and I enjoyed my stroll.......

Thank you Sue . . . very kind. Yes, we NEARLY had supper outside, but it turned cool here too . . .

As I would expect Sheila - your garden is looking lovely. I spent all day out in the garden - working, sitting, eating and chillaxing!!
It's a wee bit nippy outside now though!

A lovely restful garden - thanks for sharing.

Many thanks for visiting, Scottish and Stera :))

Beautiful garden Sheila, and your photos are great!!

Thank you Cosmosjane!

That was lovely. Another fan of the coral bark acer here. Isn't it wonderful to have some sunshine and to have lost that biting wind? I need to go out and water the garden really but I've got stuck on GOY.

Thanks Tuesday! I've just done the watering, so can now indulge in some GoY therapy :))

Sheila - I love the Viburnum and the Eleagnus ... do you have a local outdoor pool ... or is there something you're not telling us ... lol!

Hi Shirley - thank you. Yes, we have a wonderful outdoor pool locally, and in fact I was there again this morning . . . have to make the most of it as they only open for about 3 months, and I do love it!

:o)))
