This afternoon I kept my eyes open for most of the football World Cup match between Brazil and Mexico. In order to wake me up at half time I wandered around the garden,
where Jackie was spraying the flower beds by hose.
The cane chair planting
and other containers were still benefitting from recent irrigation.
A variety of nasturtiums are in pots in the front of the garage door,
and solanum and honeysuckle have joined clematis Mrs N. Thompson on the trellis.
We have many other clematises.
Several different day lilies occupy the Dragon Bed, which leads towards petunias in a hanging basket over the Head Gardener’s Walk.
Rose Mamma Mia blends well with some of the lilies.
Before they returned home Becky and Ian sat in the garden seeking solutions to a crossword.
Later, Jackie and I dined on a little of Becky’s chicken curry and rice; rack of pork spare ribs in barbecue sauce; and fresh salad.
How lovely t is to see everything blooming in the garden. I can imagine how good it is to relax here just seeing those flowers.
It is, indeed, Arlene. Thanks very much
Now, what’s this? Jackie dined? Alone? Where are you and why aren’t you dining? Don’t tell me the football is so interesting you didn’t stop to eat…… I am so totally in love with your summertime garden – it is fabulous!!
I know, right? Why didn’t Derrick eat?
🙂 “and I’ added
Very many thanks, Pauline. The omission of ‘and I’ seems to have caused some consternation 🙂
phew
The lack of two little words can quite upset morning coffee! 🙂
🙂
Blooming gorgeous!
Many thanks, Osyth
The garden is beautiful, and it looks like a lovely day–but like Pauline, I wonder what you were dining on.
We’re all wondering. . .
Now amended 🙂
Same as Jackie – Doh
🙂
That vertical photo with the greenhouse in the background titled ” cosmos, geraniums, urns” is simply stunning. They fill magazines with such photos.
Many thanks, Jodie
: ) – and glad to hear you are eating . . .
🙂
Are you fasting? I was hoping for a win by Mexico and then by Japan…no luck.
Thanks for alerting me to my omission, Jill. I’ve added ‘and I’ 🙂
I’m glad you’re not going hungry!
🙂
So delightful to walk with you in your garden. Looks as though Becky and Ian were very engaged with the crossword puzzle.
Thanks very much, Laurie
Lovely walk in the garden!
Thanks very much, Lynn
Love the cane chair planting!
Thanks very much, Rosaliene
What a bustling world of plants! And you know each of them individually.
Jackie is the one who who knows them all. I often have to check with her 🙂 Thanks very much, Uma

You never see anything but smiles and contentment in your garden!
Selection is employed, GP. 🙂 Many thanks
The news we are getting here tells of fire and heatwaves. But it looks very pleasant in your garden.
Thanks very much, Paol. We do have what we consider a heatwave. The fires are on Northern moors; peat is burning to considerable depths, and extinguishing is expected to take months
Peat fires in Victoria have been burning for several years.
Wow
The cane chair planting is lovely. Your entire garden is a happy place.
It is, Leslie. Many thanks
Lovely captures.
Thanks very much, Rupali
