Thanks Osso! That means a lot coming from you. But, I can't take all the credit. Most of the plants were here already. I guided landlady's purchases and placed the plants.

You have a knack for color and texture and form... I saw that in some of your earlier photos at the other place.

Color texture and form.... I always felt I was bad at design.

Your design ability may not be developed for, let me guess, various reasons, but you are not without sensibility. Please shut off any design-stupid thing you have going on.

The garden out back has a lush summery look to it now.

My veggies are super lush, as compared to my neighbor, whose tomatoes look like dried up field grass. It helps if you water. Smile

My four raised beds are about 8'x5'. I added 320 lbs of steer manure (8 bags) and a full package of time release fertilizer before planting. I'll repeat the fertilizer dose at the end of July. I water it every day for 15 minutes with a timed sprinkler. The tomato plants are huge and I've been busy picking off suckers. Quite a few tomatoes have already set.

I thought you would shoot them off with your six-gun.

Good for you, cj

My front and back yards are insanely lush this year.

Apparently we're having a dry spell, and I haven't watered in mmmm 5 years now - but the xeriscaping seems to have paid off.

The downside is that some of the perennials have gone well beyond sleep/creep/leap in the last two years and need some serious chopping.

This morning I started eating tomatoes right off the vine for brekkies.

Wow, your tomatoes are sure ripening fast out there, Dys!

We've had rain every day for two weeks. I had planted impatiens all over the place, and they're absolutely huge and gorgeous now. They've never looked better.

Millions of barrels you can get ....!

Just a few lillies are blossoming now: the rest was destroyed by a heavy thunderstorm about three weeks ago.
And now the frequent and heavy showers ... Crying or Very sad

A lot of mid-England has been devastated by flooding following heavy rainfall. Has this been reported abroad?

We're okay here, but midsummer weather it ain't.

In Euroep: 'yes'. On the frontpages and as top news on tv ... together with the heatwaves in south-east Europe (Greece, especially).
