Hello Dmitry,

So nice for you to visit my English summers garden from Russia. I understand you are having a very hot summer this year. A shady spot under an umbrella with a nice cool icy pimms in the tranquility of a summer garden is what we all need sometimes.

Hi Marilyn!
Looks great!!! Thank you for the opportunity of the virtual walk through this wonderful, green and very unique garden. Especially I liked the cozy place under the umbrella and the dainty flowers in that blue pot!

Yes, Tina - and you moved just when I could have done with your skilful pruning. I have further plans on new planting for next year so hopefully I will start a new shade plot with hostas & ferns. I will keep you posted.

At last, you did it!! The garden looks absolutely stunning and I bet it was a really fun day and one I would have loved to have seen. The curved border by the trellis has filled out wonderfully, must have been all that ruthless pruning we did each year!!

Hi James

I think I will leave photographic imagery for greetings cards to the experts…but thanks anyway .

June is a beautiful time of year - maybe I should publish the 2009 Christmas garden shot as a seasonal contrast.

Hi Laurie,

Taking close up photos of flowers can be such fun, i appreciate the detail of each plant far more once I zoom in. I think we often miss the incredible beautiful complexity of a flowers formation.

Thank you for your kind comments Laurie .

Looks great Marilyn. Judging by this, you should defiantly do it again next year! I really like that last photo, we need to get that on a card…! xxx
