just a glimpse of the garden








It has been quite typical English summer week; we had both sun and rain, temperatures quite pleasant, 20 - 24°C. We had quite a bit of rain earlier in the week, welcomed for the garden, but it also did some damage to the flowers.
























It was very good for the mini cucumbers I planted in my small herb patch,




but what happened here?  



I found 13 of these little fellows on this one pelargonium having a feast.

 

But the rest of the garden is doing fine, the rain has done it good.





















in the front garden the new lavender hedge is doing great




but the rain destroyed some of the rose blossoms



lots of colour in the porch; it can get very hot in here




lots of colour inside too



and hoya seems to be very happy in the kitchen





have a good week stitching!

    your garden is looking beautiful, hydrangea is so lovely mine are still in bud. Like you my roses have suffered with the rain and we get a lot of wind too that does lots of damage. Re the caterpillars they have been having a great feast here too but have yet to find any, only the damage they do!

    What a gorgeous garden-- you must be very proud of your efforts. Those pesky caterpillars are a bane of our lives aren't they?-- yet we admire the butterflies!

    What a beautiful garden! The weather must have been perfect this year to get such lovely blooms and I suspect quite a lot of "elbow grease" as well.
