    Your garden must be a mass of colour with all your beautiful flowers.

    I've been loving all the photos @michael57 it's been lovely to see some other keen gardeners getting to enjoy the fruits (or flowers) of their labours. ❤️

    I enjoyed a sit outside at 3am last night with the dogs in the cool air, smelling the freshly bloomed sweetpeas. It was a lovely escape from the madness of the world during the day. Very good for the soul.

    Do any of your lot work in farming? Just curious!

    Your garden reminds me of one near me, but they also grow veg. Every summer they charge £5 for a look around, with the proceeds going to 'The Fire Fighters Charity'.

    Their garden is really large with a mature trees ( some are Scots Pine i think).One has a wrap around bench.

    I've been down Memory Lane to my midnight watering habit and fox cubs playing with the hose pipe. It was so peaceful and fresh. Lucky you and thanks for the memory 😊

    It's dogs or fox cubs - you can't have both 😄

    It's an unfortunate truth. 😪

    We get foxes sunbathing on our neighbour sheds which is very cute and I often see them wandering around during their late night parties. 😊

    That's a stunner @michael57 ! Ours are all starting to bloom now, so I'm looking forward to next week.
