July is one of my favourite months as after a dull winter and a sometimes rainy spring here in the UK, we FINALLY get some colour in our garden!!
So I thought i'd share some pics that Monty and I took this morning

Monty's view from the window sill ...



Our Japenese Maple that had a little pruning as it had gone a bit crazy! It is still quite big! - we only got it as a small plant last year, it must like us!!!



Our HUGE basket of fucshia... Pete bought 18" diametere baskets this yr and they have grown beautifully, we needed extra reinforced brackets!!!!





One of the smaller ones





One of the 3 tomato plants ...



Hope that wasn't 'overload'

I love seeing everyones gardens so feel free to post yours too! x

Gourgeous coloring and I love the tomatoes. I have a topsy turvy and love it. My tomatoes and finally beginning to turn red. So now I want a tomato...Thanks for sharing these pictures. It is eye capturing.

Wonderful fuchsias Nic! And my tomatoes are nowhere near that size! What's the secret?

Here's a few piccies of our garden:






Finally here's some pictures of the wonderful rare Alabama hibiscus Teresias

Nic, your garden is lovely as always! That Japanese maple has the prettiest color - and I can't believe how big your fushia are!!

Liz, I adore your garden too - and just wait-- the hibiscus WILL bloom!! I'm going to take a pic of mine so you can see the leaves are the same -- I'm sure it's a hibiscus. I mean, I did give you the seed, right?

Oh wow!! Great gardens!! Damn in those moment I really regret living in an appartment!!

I can't believe the size of your Fuchsias! They are beautiful and absolutely full of bud and flower. You must be treating them well. I love looking at the photos of your gardens. I used to spend so much time in my garden, planting and weeding but don't seem to get the time any more which is sad. So please post your pictures so I can enjoy your gardens even if I can't enjoy mine.

Wow what green thumbs you ladys have
I have a tendence to kill my plants with kindness
Liz do you have anyfish in your pond ?I have a pond too and have a few koi and fancy goldfish
I have a new hibiscus plant anyone no what to do with them in the winter?

My hibiscus are planted outdoors and survive the winter just fine - don't know about in Ohio......

Jellybean, we have 3 Koi and some others of mixed parentage...... We have 1 very large Koi, who is yellowish with irregular black stripes down his back. Som wit named him "Barcode" !! I'll try and get piccies on a sunny day when they're basking in the sun (a rarity at present in the UK)

What lovely garden photos. Nic, I was only commenting the other day on the significant lack of fuschias this year so it is lovely to see yours, they are stunning!
