    I know we all like to have a good old nose around each others gardens.
    So.. pop over to mine and take a walkabout..

    It wont take long at all..

    Start out front. Looking better everyday.

    Lillies are looking good. This is the second year for them after planting.

    Lets stroll down the side and check out the two baskets.

    Round the back and into the business end of the garden.

    Two small baskets trying to hide the wheelie bins

    Another two on the west facing garage wall.

    Oh look theres.. Stuffit taking in the rays.

    Garage wall with Montana in the back and large pot with onions and a few runner beans to keep company. Onions did very well in this location last year.

    This is my holding pen..anything goes.

    On the edge of the onion patch heres the composter and a Hoster living quite happy side by side.

    Across the onion patch we see some pansies for flowering next year in the little pots.

    I tried to kill this apple a few years back and it now rewards us with buckets loads every year.

    Runner beans against the south wall. very slow growers this year.
    [​IMG]

    This small area is for the wildlife. Wild flowers and hiding places.

    Strawberry and potato patch

    The pond....still awaiting a refit from me.
    [​IMG]

    Seating and tomatoes enjoying the sun... I do to.
    [​IMG]

    Into the conservatory we have just one cucumber and one pepper plant doing just fine.

    A nice show from this fuchsia.

    Scented Jasmin is a real treat when in bloom

    Stuffit says smile for the group shot before you leave....

    And that completes the tour. Thank you for attending and I hope you enjoyed the show.....

      Nice pics Capney, lot of time and effort gone into creating your gardens and baskets. My large scented lillies have not done at all well this year, they are four years old now and I fear they have had their day. Will see what next summer brings and if they are bad again then it will be the compost bin for them I'm afraid.

      A cracking garden, Robert. I love having an amble around other people's gardens and see new ideas. I didn't do any hanging baskets or bowers this year, but seeing yours in such full glory made me wish I had.

      Many thanks for the kind comments guys.
      You are welcome back anytime.
      At the moment the garden outback looks a mess. It`s taken a battering from the recent rain.
      It managed to destroy every fuschia flower in one basket. It is now crying out for some warm sun to aid recovery.
