Rain again...

Hi Julia ..Well done on taking some photos in between the showers... the rain has made everything grow beautifully in your garden ..

This weekend, summer is in Paris with the French tennis finals... temps in the 80's and 90's (old money thermometer !)

Hope they send it over L'Channel very soon :0)

Oui !

What a wonderful view to wake up to every morning! I have it on good authority that the Dutch have taken our summer as they've had great weather and hardly any rain. I am geting sick and tired of telephone conversations with my family over there when they boast about the weather! Grrr......

Interesting to see the Gardeners Garters as this is the first year mine has ever flowered ... I was beginning to think my neighbour had given me a dud piece years ago!

The Clem. Pilu is so gorgeous.

We have had a lovely sunny day so far and just come home from watching the village carnival procession ... passed on going on the funfair rides this year!

Looking good Waddy , rain stopped play with me !! its going like the past 3 years a good Easter then wet and cold , ooohh !!!

Gg

Well whoever has our summer is isn't us here. Now we know we can blame the Dutch... We have had just one day so far when it was fit to go outside in a short sleeved tee shirt.
And I'll add another vote for Pilu!

Beautiful photos.Lovely garden.

Thanks everyone.

Amsterdam, Thank you, I must admit I love it. By-the=-way I thought going dutch meant to share???

Shirley; Ours is in the margin of the pond, perhaps that's helped. Glad you've had a fine, dry day. Raining again here :((

GG, I was only saying the very same thing the other day. Perhaps they're right when they say our seasons will all mash together. Even our winters aren't what they were, sigh!

Stera; We were in the garden for a while yesterday and it was quite warm and pleasant...today? Don't tell but I've just put the heating on. Second time this week!

Your garden is lovely in spite of the rain :)
I hope the weather improves soon

The rain has enhanced your garden Waddy. I love the Phalaris and the pretty view in the last photo.
Here we have had a week of rain and showers but hopefully next week will be better!
We DID need some rain but not as much as this!!

Your garden looks lovely. We've had bit of summer this weekend in Kent. Boiling hot on Saturday although very windy. And the suns just coming out today at 9.30am.

Its dreadful now isnt it Julia? But tbh..it must happen every year because it always ruins my first flush of roses..every single year since we came my first beautiful roses have been ruined by heavy and prolonged rain. It will be better...in September! :\

Your garden is so lovely with some beautiful plants .

True Kidsgran! Forgot to say...sorry ;)

It's all looking lovely,Julia..and we did need the rain,really,but one can have too much of a good thing,so it's said ! At least your plants are appreciating it,as they all look in tip top condition..Your Heuchera looks very similar to one of mine,called Georgia Peach,which was gifted from Cinderella a few years ago..that said,quite a few look similar...and your Dianthus is beautiful..I haven't got one flower on any of mine yet !!!

Yiur garden looks wonderful Waddy gorgeous roses and Piilu.

Thanks again everyone.

Wildrose: I'm hopeful that the forecast is right. ..things picking up this week. Wednesday is supposed to be super ☺

Lisam : Lots of rain yesterday, windy but fine today with some sun.

Karen: I've had one or two blooms spoilt, but luckily, except for my standard most of the roses are still to bloom.

Sandra: Some plants have appreciated the rain, but others are well and truly battered. I don't think the heuchera is Georgia Peach as I don't recall ever buying that one...but then as you say so many look similar.

a lovely blog. lovely plants and the garden view is gorgeous even if it is raining in the last one.

Thanks SBG ☺
