Today in the garden Everything is growing apace so there is daily more and more colour to just wander around and look at.  A view down the garden. It s only 70 feet long but slopes almost 9 feet so is divided into beds on 7 levels.  An almost black petunia. Unusual we thought but beautiful colour.  Looking up at the top level garden-- the deck festooned with as many flowers as I can pack in.  Another trailing fuchsia - they do flower profusely.  More petunias.Simple flowers but bright and colourful.  Caught this bee collecting pollen from the Shasta daisies.  Troughs and hanging baskets -- my personal favourites for adding colour - and they can be changed several times in the season.  This sea lavender over wintered and has been flowering since March -- it is still putting up new flower stalks.  Tomatoes, aubergines, sweet peppers, carrots and cucumbers in the greenhouse.  Even the humble potato can have beautiful flowers. |

Pleasing to the senses  . I especially like the photo of the potato flowers which look like a watercolour painting and the shasta daisy with visiting bee. I've always liked the simple petunia with its velvety texture - hopefully it's not inappropriate to say that the black (almost) petunia looks sexy.Thanks for the additional info re borage.

You gave your garden a beautiful look. The first picture shows a piece in back that looks like a roofed wicker beach chair. Am I right? Happiness is when what you think, what you say, what you do are in harmony - M. Gandhi
