A few pics of my garden in it's summer guise....I think it's poor, as I'm not happy with it, but it'll do for this year! Its not finished though, the wall needs sorting out.

Try to click on your pictures when I clicked out of them my browser went crazy like it was having a seizure only your pics mind icon_scratch must be something to do with the resolution icon_scratch How are the basjoo doing, the ones you pictured next to one of your girls?

Orange is not used nearly enough in the garden. People tend to be frightened by it or see it as to zingy. I love the colour of that plant, and my glasses tint naturally so no worries there

I've never actually seen a blackboy before, I take it you didn't grow it from seed! I've just sown some seed, sort of heirloom for the great, great grandchildren!

Nothing big and lush from me, this area was a lawn a few weeks ago. Plus I know Mo is a rock fan. :)

Chionanthus virginicus ~ doing remarkably well on my dry chalk soil, considering it is credited with demanding a moist acid soil.
