Lovely pics G, and that nicotiana just goes on and on doesn't it?
Just reward for lugging all those watering cans up and down the garden :)
Blooms from paradise, biceps from Popeye - hey, you can't win them all ;)

Thanks Busy Lizzie and Vony.  I'm in London and we have a hoepipe ban here.   >:(  I just go out with my watering can every night.  The veggies (in pots) get a drink every day, the non-edibles (in pots) every other day and the plants in the border only get one if they are drooping!

PS.  BTW, BL, the lawn looks I've laid a straw path!!!
