A Friday evening stroll around my garden. Ready for there weekend?
My garden is still blooming, still lots of flowers to enjoy. I sat out there with my daughter enjoying the garden. the country meadow flowers are still going strong, I will be definitely having a few pots of these next year, These would look good growing next to the Emperor blues as they grow tall too.
A large pot of these standing next to a pot of Emperor blues will give me some height and bright colours.
One of my favourite flowers is a Petunia, I want a few pots of these in different colours dotted around the garden, these seem to hang so may put a few in hanging baskets off the wall and fence.
I do love my Rose bush's but don't understand why they aren't standing upright, these hang over the pot, maybe they need re-potting for next year, I will wait as they are still showing a lot of buds.
I started growing a tree and a bush quite a few years ago to give my garden some greenery but they don't seem to be growing very quickly, I must have had both of these for well over 10 years.
First is my tree, It looks lovely, very green but doesn't grow very fast, I can't remember what plant it is as its just been left.
Next is a bush I started growing to go into my back garden, I thought I would have been much bigger than this, I haven't done much with this other than water and feed.
If anyone has any advice about these I would love know what I should be doing with them.

Thank you @artedellavita
Lovely garden and great plans for next year too. Petunias are such happy flowers, especially those with double blooms like you have. I like the mauve and white. How about some pink and white for next year? As for the roses hanging over the pot, are you sure they are not supposed to be climbers and need support? Just asking...
Oh now you have me thinking, I really don't know but you could be right, I will get some trellis's and see if they are better next year, thank you :)
You're welcome.
Great that everything is blooming nicely still. We are having cold weather come in here already (Toronto). Hasn't been the best season for gardening this year.
Its getting a lot colder here now

beautiful flower @karenb54
Thank you :)
Your Emperor Blues are stunning.
Thank you, they have been gorgeous :)
Wow they ARE doing well still huh? It must be all that loving attention they are getting.
You might want to add some ferns into the mix as well. they look really lovely in a shady corner. And they still look good all winter too.
The best way to get them to grow really well is to play them lots of Dire Straits music. I played this to my ferns every day and they loved it! :-)
I had 6 ferns but they all went brown :(
I don't mind the odd dire straits music but my youngest might have a flip lol
Yeah if you don't play the Dire Straits they die off pretty quick.
You never know, your youngest may just turn out to be a closet Straits fan. There are worst things to be :-)
She likes allsors she even plays some of my elvis... She has good taste :)
Nothing more gratifying and healthy than spending time in the garden, congratulations the garden is beautiful. thank you very much dear friend @ karenb54 for sharing these beautiful pictures
The fresh air has helped me, Thank you :)
