Since the spring the garden has been thriving, due largely to the amount of rain we've had.
I can't take any credit, as I haven't changed anything. The only thing I've done is a bit of tidying and pruning as I'm still watching to see the seasonal changes in the garden. The only thing I've bought so far is a purple Veronica plant bought for sentimental reasons as it was my lovely Mum's name. It hasn't been put into the border yet, but it will fill a spot near the patio area.

| The climbing roses are looking a bit rain-worn but are still very pretty, and a small rose bush that I thought had died has flowered in a pot. |
 |
| The lavender smells glorious, and the fountain is working again. I love the old brick wall between our garden and the old Georgian house behind. |
 |
| The bamboo plant needs some pruning, the buddleia is in bloom and so is this lovely passionflower. |
 |
| The patio area, where we've had limited chances to sit because of the bad weather.
There isn't a huge amount of colour in the garden, and what colour there is is quite subtle. The structural planting is mostly fine, although there are a couple of plants that do nothing for me so they will go come autumn/winter and be replaced with something else. Not sure what yet.
Do you like to see a lot of colour in a garden, or are your more interested in the structural planting?
