has finally come to bloom think ive gone a bit ott looks like a tropical rainforest, looks like my lettuce are slug proof but not my cabages hows your garden looking, just wish i could have some sky hooks got loads of windchimes and no where to hang them. xx

Hi Puss, glad your garden's looking good. I also collect windchimes from wherever I see them, eg garden centres. As to the hooks, I have bought them in B & Q before now, but if you are hanging them in a tree, a piece of string would be useful.

Hi Puss and all. The plants around the pond are all in bloom, like the guneras and lily plants. All the veg is on the go and my hanging fruit/herb baskets are coming on a treat. My Koi are getting a tad "fruity" too so hope they're gonna spawn soon...................more babies..xx

My garden is looking lovely at the moment . My Hostas are all very lush and my Ferns around the pond are all unfurled .
I have a mass of wild Campion in full flower and amoungst them are my giant Poppies , so I have more colour than normal at the moment .

I'm just awaiting the stand of Hollyhocks that I started from seed last year .
The rain has done the garden a power of good.
Happy gardening everyone : ))
