              Your cosmos look lovely @shiney:)- no flowers on mine but lots of foliage. A few puny cream ones have flowered but the pinks, whites and purples haven't bloomed yet.

                  Ours started nice and early :thumbsup: This photo of Cosmos seashells was taken on June 3rd - amongst about half a dozen other pots of them, and the Zinnias were only two weeks behind them :)

                    Sorry to hear about your plum tree @shiney

                    Do you know which variety of hebe you have with the purple flowers? I'm after another hebe and trying to decide which one to get.

                      I'm not sure that it looks enough like Mrs Winder but I shall ask the boss! It has been there a long time so she may not remember. :noidea:

                              @Logan they are absolutely gorgeous photos! Here's our golden retriever, Mabel, enjoying a walk.

                              Spent some time out in the garden today with my camera, the buddleia are looking fab this year and the butterflies agree.

                              First year that we've had a proper greenhouse, we've got tomatoes and cucumbers doing well in there. We also grew some potatoes outside which we harvested yesterday and had with a Sunday roast.

                                Retrevers all look the same these days, my sisters last two have been pretty much identical, but the first one they had in the 70s was a different looking dog altogether.
