  • It's beautiful. Mine isn't as lovely as that but I am pleased with it this year. I keep the grass tidy, edges neat and then after that other than a bit of control to avoid plants getting too choked I let it get on with it

  • Well I'm sure yours looks great too, it's a question of where you choose to photograph!!  I had a whole border of forget-me-not under my hedge earlier, as not weeding the path there yet.  Now the foxgloves are coming out so I am excited again.

  • Forget me nots just going over here - which means that I can get to grips with the creeping buttercup which is mixed in with them!

    I love forget me nots, have to bite my tongue when customers say they are weeds and insist they are pulled up!

    Another plant I am very fond of are Aguilegias - I was asked to pull a load of those up this afternoon

  • I love aquilegias too!  They hang over the mass of leaves.  Mine are going over now with the rain - but some still there and go with alliums well.  Glad I planted them last year, feel like proper gardener having them as get contemporary look with them.  My forget-me-not has gone now.

  • Rain has been a problem with the cottage garden plants hasn't it. My lupins have taken a bashing. I did notice on your profile that you are a member of the cottage garden society? How did you join them?

  • Go to http://thecottagegardensociety.org.uk/Membership/membership and I think you have to send in a cheque for £12 (or £15 for joint membership).  The seed swap is great and rather addictive (I get 20 packets every year and swear not to next year, however the list is very tempting!  I have to stage a seed swap in my village so as to get rid of old seed, or even new seed.)  The magazine has useful information from people who are experienced gardeners as well as people starting out and letting you know their ups and downs.

  • Sounds brilliant - will check it out, thanks ever so much for the link. I won't be able to resist the seed swap either!

  • I very impressed by the pictures your garden looks fantastic.
  • Thanks Gareth.  It's nature rather than me this year that is responsible.

"We tried the grin but massively overpriced, the mulching performance no better than our 537HRX HY'S, not tried the Etesia but the HRX gives us the ability to collect when we need to without messing about with mulch plugs or swapping blades"

"Cheers for the heads up Andrew, am a big fan of some of the Ego kit, but even without the safety issue the performance of that design of hedge trimmer is totally underwhelming anyhow"
