What are you doing to celebrate the Olympics in your garden? Whether it's a window box, commemorative tree or even a veg patch, let us know your bright ideas.

And if you're looking for tips on floral decoration that will celebrate your favourite Olympians, you might like to check out Local Leaders from the London 2012 team.

Nothing on my gardening agenda to celebrate the games.. I'll watch events I'm interested in but that's about as much enthusiasm as I can muster..

Would never have thought of doing anything Olympic-ish in my garden!

Still won't. hmm

Well perhaps a little Union Flag Jack somewhere.

My garden is an (heap of) Olympic task(s) already.

Mine can't be seen from the road, so no point in showing off, apart from my usual pots of geraniums at the front door.

I haven't done anything in terms of a horticultural tribute since the Queen's Silver Jubilee, when a few of us Army wives had a bit of an informal competition for the best red white and blue flower bed (yes, naff, I know!) The prize was a bottle of Plymouth gin! I didn't win it. Probably just as well....
I suppose I could race my runner beans against each other......
