Mine tends to be a late Spring/early Summer garden......and starts to look a bit messy by August....but there's still lots in it that I'm loving.....especially the edibles.
We're having a good crop of sugarsnap peas.
We've just started harvesting the carrots.
The mixed lettuce have leaves pulled off and eaten almost every day.
The blueberries are just starting to ripen.
I've never done very well with tomatoes......so I'm delighted to see some healthy,red ones.
The corn are just beginning to develop.....hoping they'll be ready for BBQs
The climbing rose on the arbour is having an early second flush of flowers
The clematis is rambling all over the shed.
I would never have thought of planting yellow and pink together......but love the effect of the fuchsia with the self seeded marigolds and poppies that now pop up every year.

I'm particularly fond of this corner......and how lovely these plants look together......the hydrangeas and echinacea have flowered early this year......and the white buddlea is over 8 feet tall.
How's your garden growing?

your garden looks beautiful, I was just thinking mine looks a bit bedraggled at the moment, time to get the mower out I think!!
Your garden looks very healthy. I nearly did this for my 10 today - I think I planted later than you because our sweetcorn isn't so far along, but I've also got great lettuces and the carrots are nearly there.
Your garden is looking great, Jacky, you must be really looking after your plants well. Of course (as you would know) I'm loving your great purple clematis the bestest!!!
Have a great weekend

I don't garden, so I'm very envious of your green thumb and all the wonder you have growing for you. I think if we had planted this year, everything would be dead by now - it's been so hot and dry.
How's my garden? Certainly not like this one! I'm a flower lover, but the vegetables are making my mouth water - I had to actually buy sugar snap peas this morning
You have a wonderful garden! It's nice to see healthy growing plants. Our garden isn't doing so well this year with the multiple heat waves drying everything out. Then there are the many storms that flood the grounds. I'm afraid this year is a total loss with the exception of the wave petunias. Nothing stops them from growing!
Wow, what a beautiful (& yummy) garden. With temperatures over 100 degrees for weeks now, nothing is growing here. It's all we can do to keep the grass green! LOL
beautiful garden Jackie. Our veggies are pretty poor this year only got flowers on the tomatoes plants no fruit yet, the beans were a dissaster but the spuds are ok!
Certainly not as lovely as yours Jacky :o)
I miss our big garden now that we live in town with a pocket handkerchief!
We are no great gardeners in this house. Your veg look delicious.
Nowhere near as good as yours, alas! Love those echinacea ...
Sigh.... It's all looking lovely Jackie. Gardens are such great therapy aren't they. Lx
Your garden's looking good Jacky..I don't do vegetables, but I love my flowers..but am fighting the heat at the moment- my pots and borders dry out very quickly!

I did mean to say that your own garden looks great! xx
Ours is a disaster at the moment - it has suffered during the renovation, but I have plans and we will need to start soon!
Our sugar snap peas did not survive our extended vacation, but the tomatoes are doing okay. We have exactly one pumpkin left on the vine; not sure it will make it all the way to the fall.
Our best crop this year has been red onions.
This makes me want to go clean things up a bit this weekend.

Such a wonderful garden. Just love the mouthwatering photographs of your vegetables. Nature at its best. At least all the rain we had has meant our gardens are really green this summer.
Ooh, the vegetable photos are mouth watering, the sugarsnap peas look so tasty! x
Your garden is absolutely beautiful. I love the roses.
Oh gosh what a beautiful Garden you have! You will have to give me some tips!
Wow, Jacky, your garden is lovely. Oh how I would love to be there with you, sipping a drink and sharing a laugh or two...
Your garden looks fabulous, after all the heavy rain and then us being away for 3 weeks, ours is a disaster!
Your garden is doing well. I have totally neglected mine - maybe next year..........
