Mowgleys retreat

Well my GC friends despite the lack of summer warmth the garden hasn't done too bad.
Disappointed with some annuals
A few changes planned for next year

 

Looks great Mowgley

 

Well with the nights getting longer and colder the garden despite this still growing and looking good.
Hope not to bore you all here's some pictures taken over the weekend

 

Hi Mowgley,
I for one could never get bored with looking at your garden. It's absolutely stunning.

 

There's still a lot of colour around and it's looking great Mowgley!

 

It looks brilliant I couldn't get bored looking at it either!

 

that looks fab mate. bet your well chuffed?!!

 

Love it! I wish I lived next door to you! How much protection do you have to give your exotics?

 

Wonderful pics mowgley

 

Many thx for you nice comments folks

@Oldtyke most of the cannas, Brugmansias, ensetes get lifted on stored in the GH.
Palms get a makeshift shelter above them to keep them dryish

 

It's been a funny old year since I last updated this thread.
The passing of my father in law in February was a massive shock and wasn't too fussed about sowing seeds or gardening but as the weeks passed I steadily got back into it. He wouldn't of wanted me to get sad about it. Many thx for the messages (you know who you are )
Due to the late sowings and cold spring I'm a little behind. Most of the bedding is seed grown apart from the geraniums and gazanias.
Managed to get most things through the winter 4 ensetes bananas,both fuchsia bolivinas, 3 Brugmansias.
Extended the border along the fence and planted a chamaerops humilis Palm and trachycarpus princeps hybrids which wasn't liking being in a pot.
Hopefully we will get a decent summer and growth will commence
Some pics from tonight

 

Hi Mowgley,
