This corner border is not that old but the shrubs are a good size now. I am still developing the back and you will see a picture of any progress in the Autumn/Winter.
Potentillas grow like weeds and self-seed in Northumberland. At this time of the year they seem to take over as they grow fast. I will be cutting them back in the autumn.
One of the many Hostas, with very few slug holes. Is this due to so many birds? Or the hedgehogs? Or both?
This particular rose has taken off this year and has been marvellous. It is past its best now, though. Isfahan was amazing in late June, with its lovely scent, but there are only very few flowers left now
The herbaceous borders are fairly colourful just now
The Astilbe is showing no sign of drought as I watered it earlier, and we have had plenty of rain lately
The wander round comes to an end, sitting in peace, listening to the birds and enjoying the part of the garden to be seen from here. I am waiting to see if the Clematis will flower again. It is certainly growing well
