Polish Spirit.
This is my favourite clematis in my garden.

Lupins doing very well and Delphinums also.

Clematis

White Peony

Duchess of Edinburgh clematis

Rhapsody in Blue Rose

Pacific Blue Delphinium

Very pretty Petunia in my hanging basket.  I ordered plug
plants for the very first time this year from Gardening Direct and
was very pleased with them.  They were expertly packed and
arrived in a very healthy condition and they too are doing well.

Petunia in ornamental shoe.  Couldn't resist this when I went
to Squires cos I loved the Robins.  Petunia courtesy of Gardening
Direct. 

Lilies looking very healthy in my pond.

Winter pansies still flowering.

My garden was a wilderness when I moved here four years ago and I am very pleased how it is coming along.

This is my pumpkin at 9 weeks.  The first one
has formed and I pollinated it by hand just to
make sure.  Its the 19th May, 2011
Everything is doing wonderfully well especially the tomato plants.  Both the Sweet Million and Marmande Beef tomatoes are very sturdy and full of the first set of flowers.  We have been very lucky with the frosts keeping away bar one night when I lost one of my squash plants.
