i have actually been to the Chelsea flower show but it's nothing like you see on TV. Far too many people and all the gardens have to viewed from too far away. Much better view on telly.

maybe everyone could post,more pics of their gardens,..say in August, just to see how everything has grown.

Thanks Pauline, they were a real mess a couple of years ago, it's taken 2 summers of hard graft to get them up to scratch.

They looked quite good in spring but I sort of ruined them by hacking so much back but there was a method to my madness. I lose my green bin in either June or July (green bin is for garden waste, council are going to charge £50 per year from this summer for them and I'm not paying it on principal) so I really needed to get everything chopped back so I could get rid of the cuttings before the bin goes.

Plus I cut down all the climbers against the side/back fence so I could paint it. Hopefully it'll all grow back!

Mags, those flowers are really beautiful.
Now tell me something please.
I'm as bad as you with all my pots and tubs, but am finding the compost a bit of a chore each year.

Do you empty your tubs out and start afresh each spring, or do you just top up with new compost and add fresh plant food in?
