Thought I would share what I still have in flower around the garden with you all. Here are my Wild Strawberries, tasted yummy Purple Salvia still flowering its socks off. Lone Cornflower? My New Guniea Busy Liz, just love it. Spoted this fella having a rest and soaking up the Sun. Primulas Cobra Lily, cant wait to see it in flower. Crocosmia Lucifer The new bed almost finished. Zebra grass and my Caster Oil plant which was eaten by the sheep earlier this year. I just love the colours of this but it is a pain sending out runners all over the garden. dont know the name of this but its donkeys years old. Dahlia's which have done great, never grown them before. Lots of berries on the Holly so the birds will have a good feast. Sweet Peas which are just hanging in there. spotted these in the GH. Hope you liked my little tour

It was a lovely tour Carolann - thank you! You've got some lovely colour and I'm quite envious that you've got sunshine. Even when we do have a sunny day the sun is lower now and hides behind the sycamores so we don't get it after about 3.00pm. Are those eating grapes or wine grapes Carolann?

Glad you liked the tour P, they are eating grapes called Black Hamburg not sure how its spelt, and they are nice and sweet. Not sure if you can make wine from them.

So much still in flower that has long gone over in my patch Carolann I have the same challenge with the Rhus (and so do our neighbours ) - I've started painting the runners with a bit of roundup, it hasn't damaged the parent tree (yet!) Thanks for taking the time to share - grapes look yummy x Tig

Lovely tour Carolann i love the purple salvia. Im a bit concerned about the after affects of your sheep eating that CASTER OIL plant I was given that as a child for a reson not to be mentioned here ;D Were your sheep constipated LOL.

Lovely little browse around your lovely garden CA52. Your tree (Rhus)is so colourful my sister cut off her suckers and potted them up for friends. The bark feels lovely too. I have a mini one waiting for me but nowhere to put it. Could it be grown in a container I wonder? That busy lizzie is smashing.

Thanks Carolann Love that Salvia very good colour. Oh and I would just love to have a dry stone wall like yours but I am afraid in my clay it soon would only be seen by the moles.
