It looks lovely Ann, oh so tidy. I wish mine was, I still have an upturned boat awaiting 'refurbishment' that's driving me mad.
By the way thanks to that 'Allotment' website you linked to yesterday, I was able to find the name of my mysterious yellow spike flower. Thanks

Lovely pictures, Ann. I thought the same as June regarding tidiness ..... I'm still playing catch-up with my garden since I broke my wrist last October. Then, what with the cold, wet weather we had this spring, I'm wondering if I'll ever get to grips with it ever again. :roll:

I suppose at our age, (Brian 70 on Tuesday and me 70 in August) our garden is getting much too big to manage and Brian only grows veggies whilst I do most of the flowers.

Lovely garden, do you cut the grass as well? The edges are so neat....

Thanks for your kind comments on my garden, I do it all myself and I love doing it, I spend all my time out there, either sitting and reading or working.

Yes, mine too - they must be about 5 feet tall now. :mrgreen:
They are only supposed to grow to about three feet, aren't they?
Goes to show - never take any notice of the 'experts'.

When I first saw picture 4, Ann, I thought you had some red salvias growing in the bottom right-hand corner :roll:

The first verbascum I ever grew was the same variety as you have there and it grew to just above fence level. I didn't know what it was at that time and my brother-in-law swore it was "nobby greens".

The flowers were really lovely and lasted a long time.

WOW, Emm!

That is a wonderful picture.

It just makes me wonder why Damien Hirst's pickled sheep sitting on the loo with a hypodermic needle sticking out of its leg, not to mention 'throwing-up' gets the artistic nod of approval from the arty-farties. (Especially as he only thinks his so-called 'art' these days ........... and a team of others do the work).

The Tate, National Gallery etc should be full of pictures like yours, Emm ....................... BEAUTIFUL
