Not a good begining to the year weather or healthwise but

Looking very good Stroller hope you feel better soon x

that was a lovely stroll around Stroller, it's amazing how our gardens can look after themselves when we are not 100% mine has been neglected somewhat because I was ill for most of May and then got a cold and touch of bronchitis so no energy and only just back on form. Have managed to get the grass chopped today and some of the borders tidied up at last. Have really enjoyed being outside working in the garden if tired out now. It was good because it was bright but not hot and I am not a fan of hot weather for working outside in. Hope you are on the mend too, best wishes \;o0)

Stoller hope you are much better now.

Your garden is amazing so pretty I so enjoyed the stroll.

And do love your Arch ,did you get it made for you or was it bought?

Well, I. Think I will have a cuppa. I enjoyed that ever so much. I love your garden Phyl. Theres so much interest. You've made so much of every square foot. I particularly love your Fatsia...its so healthy and big and you've raised the canopy perfectly on it. Margaret Merrill is one of my new standard roses, with clematis Corinne (also new this year) and I can't wait to see them open. Its a beautiful rose! For saying you've been unwell, your garden is immaculately tidy. I'd better pull my socks up and get some weeding done tomorrow! :)

Hi Phyl your garden is looking fantastic, so many areas of interest and colour its a credit to you, hope you are starting to feel better now ;0))

Everything looks wonderful Stroller ! What a lovely surprise for you ! I love Graham Thomas and unfortunately had to move mine in April when we put the new arch in as it wouldn't reach. We put it further into the garden to prevent it from getting blown over ! It has survived though and will probably have to wait until next year for flowers !
I love your pond and arbour seat ! I bet you will spend many happy hours in that !
I hope you are feeling better now !

Stroller, your garden is a delight! No one who didn't know you would realise you've not been hard at it every day. And great minds think alike, I couldn't help noticing you've painted your woodwork outside one of the colours I have chosen to use this year ;)

How lovely it all looks,Phyl,and there's nothing like a well stocked garden full of colour to lift the spirits...which you certainly have ,looking at your lovely well planned garden..We have a similar colour on our woodwork too..:o)
I've passed on the cuppa,and had a Crunchie bar instead ! Lol Take care,and thank you for sharing :o) x

Your garden is lovely. I hope you'll be feeling better with time, so that you can enjoy tending it :)

I agree with Hywel, I wish my garden was half as nice - the wilderness keeps trying to re-claim it I know I'm doomed but I won't go down without a fight. Feel better soon.

Such pretty areas in your lovely garden. I like the urn placed near the ferns and hostas. I also love Graham Thomas ......ours has only one flower on it so far but your looks beautiful!

I hope you are feeling better now and that your garden is giving you lots of pleasure and not too much work!

It looks smashing Stroller and I honestly don't think I could choose a favourite part, hope you are feeling better now, can't tell you to sit and relax in the garden this summer as I really do not think its arrived yet, only time will tell but we live in hope, if all else fails do what I've been doing and admire it from your armchair....

It all looks wonderful! Sorry to hear you've not been well, hope you're well on the road to recovery.

Beautiful :))

Thank you all for your lovely comments and good wishes, it seems we aren`t getting the weather we crave and summer is keeping us waiting but we gardeners all live in hope.

Loved the wander around your garden Phyl ... fingers crossed for some warm sunny days for you to relax in it :o)

Looking as good as ever Phyl ....... Garden's not bad either:-) I didn't need a cup of tea after looking at your pics as your lovely garden gave me a lift:-)

Your garden is lovely with a wonderful variety of plants. The Rose that I like is Dublin Bay. Can you tell me where you bought it because I have been searching for it since we came back from Ireland .
Hope you are making a good recovery.

Hi Ba, don`t know about the looking good as ever, been in the garden today laying down crazy paving and gravel path and my arthritis is killing me ... must stop doing such crazy things. Hope you are managing to cope.
Marjories I bought the Dublin Bay on line from Peter Beale Roses (bare root) about 4/5yrs ago and it always seems to perform well.

Thoroughly enjoyed the wonderful wander through your garden. What a delight!
Your hostas are looking good & the fatsia too.
I love New Dawn, had it at my last 3 homes, it always put on a good show & lasted all summer - then I'd move again.
Hope we get some warmer days & your arthritis settles down soon.

Thanks for your reply. I will order a bare root one in the Autumn.
Marjorie

You have a smashing garden I enjoyed the lovely wander around your garden. Thank you
