29 May 2014 10:43267218I like geraniums and also pelargoniums they always give a good splash of colour in any rather dismal area.-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

30 May 2014 17:28267285Weather not too bright recently, but the garden still doing O.K.
Do nothing and nothing happens. - 30 May 2014 17:42267286Nice photos Bob, can't have a pond in my garden - the cat would see it as a running buffet.
Took these at the front of the West Bank guest house earlier, will be even better when summer really sets in.
- 31 May 2014 19:15267333Some cracking photos above there guys. Very colourful. That pond looks a bit special...hopefully no sharks in there !
I just have one to add to the mix, taken today at the Herald of Free Enterprise memorial garden on the seafront. The white roses spurted on so fast this year..I guess it was the mild spring. One minute nothing then whoosh...they are already past their best for the moment. Im not a gardener so dont know but maybe they will reflower.??
There are 25 rose bushes in the garden to mark the 25th anniversary on the 6 march 2012.email: dover7@msn.com - 1 June 2014 09:40267368And summer also brings.......having to take 2 different antihistamines plus a steroid nasal spray to counter the dreaded hay fever.I'm an optimist.

As you can see these are pix of the wild natural seafront beach gardens, taken at the weekend. The whole place was looking good in the sunshine, lots of people enjoying it all strolling about etc....

A terrific display of colour all down to mother nature...with no fertilizer or any of that malarkey needed. Despite concerns about too much rain this past winter from farmers, it appears now that said farmers are enjoying bumper crops...so there we are. The wild flowers certainly did alright.
email: dover7@msn.com - 9 June 2014 11:53267775Nice photos of the wild flowers above, the lavender in Market Square looks and smells great helped by a local businessman doing his bit.
- 10 June 2014 08:17267810That's good to see above Howard...lots of excellent planting going on all around us at the moment too. So, even better days ahead.
Have another picture but not anything horticultural this time .. I guess most of us will have seen the dramatic sky last night. It was both menacing and fabulous at the same time. Pictures couldn't do it justice but had a go..
email: dover7@msn.com - 10 June 2014 08:25267811Just the weather us older ones need .
I have cut back on my posting at this time because we are getting out more and siting in the garden we was going to down to Worcester for a few days but my wife is going in for a keyhole operation any day now so that is on hold.
Thank you for the very good photos. - 10 June 2014 20:07267856Honey produced in your own locality is supposed to help stop hay fever but you have to take it for a few months, one spoonful a day.---------------------------------------------------
Lincolnshire Born and Bred - 10 June 2014 20:19267857Dramatic skies from Paul, I can never get such photos where I am.
Summer planting has started in Folkestone today, these taken on the bombed church site.
- 10 June 2014 20:23267859Noticed this on the same site today, reminded me of that film about horses in the great war.
