Looks a mess, but smells lovely [grin]

Still not able to do any gardening (bashed ribs), which is driving me mad - it’s a jungle out there! But it smells delightful - honeysuckle, sweet peas, lilies and jasmine.......

Looks lovely, Shysal - very colourful! Yes, I love our view too - we downsized from out in the country a few years ago, but found this town house with this view smile

I love your view Lisagran.
I agree, Mapleleaf that everything is lush this year. My patio plants have gone mad! Only chore is the watering of over 100 pots!

It looks gorgeous, Lisagran. Hasn't everything seemed extra lush this year?

Beautiful, my style of gardening, pack it all in. I can’t bear any bare soil.
I hope the ribs are on the mend. Meanwhile sit back and enjoy your lovely garden.

It looks wonderful and everything is in flower at once!
I've been weeding the grass out of the lavender. A job I find quite therapeutic - on a kneeler to save the old knees.

The other side

Lisagran Mon 22-Jul-19 21:44:25

No, that’s the field that we’re lucky enough that back onto. Our garden only goes as far as this.....(pic). We downsized a few years ago from a house that had a massive garden, so this is tiny for me - hence packing stuff in!

It's HUGE. Is it right down to the trees at the top of the picture? Wow!

Lisagran Mon 22-Jul-19 19:25:01

Thank you Gabriella

Lisagran
Thank you
Your garden looks beautiful. I'm not really a fan of rigorously organised gardens. Yours looks delightful.
I shall buy some of those seeds.

Lisagran Mon 22-Jul-19 18:08:37

They’re called Cupani and they smell beautiful!

Lisagran Mon 22-Jul-19 18:01:48

They’re sweet peas Gabriella

Looks gorgeous, all those colours Lisagran

Nice Lisa scented flowers are what gardens are all about, forget the weeds!

GabriellaG54 Mon 22-Jul-19 16:25:53

The purple and red ones in the first photo...grin

GabriellaG54 Mon 22-Jul-19 16:24:42

Oh Lisagran
Please tell me what those gorgeous purple flowers are.
Thank you.

Lovely! And those sweet peas are glorious colours.?

Grammaretto Mon 22-Jul-19 10:04:15

I love it also but I'm afraid the nettles and docks are screening the foxgloves in my garden and I have no cracked ribs. That sounds very sore.
I love sweet peas. I think they are my favourite perfume.

Lisagran, you can send your messy jungle to me any time you like! I love a cottage type garden, the less I have to do, the better. Love pottering, and dabbling, nothing serious.

Glammy57 Mon 22-Jul-19 09:39:03

Beautiful! ?

Use your own ??????????.

Lisagran Mon 22-Jul-19 08:59:32

Sorry Alima - don’t know why the grin emoji didn’t appear - didn’t mean to scare you!

Alima Mon 22-Jul-19 08:56:34

Not a mess but beautiful. (Am I the only one who thinks that grin written in square brackets is rather scary, bit like a clown).
