My Garden - July by phil_sandford

My Garden - July

Continuing on from @photobird project, another shot of my back garden, one month on from the last one.

The colour is coming very strongly now, though there is still a lot of green; the Dahlias (last year's that I didn't lift and the new ones I bought as I thought last year's would all die) are beginning to flower (hopefully you can see them in the photograph?) The Poppies have gone over, the Delphiniums were rather poor this year, the Foxgloves just didn’t bother doing anything, the Alliums are now just the skeletons of the flowers, the Lupins have gone over also and the Valerian has been cut down for a second flowering (hopefully). The bedding plants at the front of that border are doing something, not great, but they're doing something.

Thankfully, the Dahlia’s will continue to bloom until the first frosts of 2017 and provide colour until then (we also have the hanging baskets)


All of my garden photographs are now tagged philsgarden and if you wish to see it change through the months (obviously only if you feel that way inclined and have nothing better to do) click here
What a great idea, lovely to see the difference as the months go by.

Such a transformation, I love seasons for that very reason. This is beautiful, I know you and Carol really enjoy it, especially this time of year!

Like Babs says, what a fab idea. You have a beautiful garden. Are your Alliums normally that tall? mine certainly seemed taller than other years.

Beautiful garden - even with the trees you seem to get enough sun to support those beautiful colors.

@onewing @louannwarren @chimfa @paul10 @ludwigsdiana @beryl @suzanne234 @dawnee @carole_sandford @tooki @rjb71 @milaniet @777margo @susiemc Thanks all. The garden has to look after itself for much of the time as I'm away during the week. It's a labour of love at weekends.

@suzanne234 I thnk the ones we have are giant alliums - the flowers are huge balls when they bloom
