To continue the other thread. This is thread 7.
This is our beech hedge.

You and your DH make quite a team @Lavenderandclimbingroses ! Good job!

Me too! That's a beauty.

That is stunning. What a fantastic colour. Do they have a perfume?

My stargazer Lillie’s have gone bonkers this year

They're gorgeous!

Fabulous display @Toootss

Wow they are happy plants!! 🪴 ❤️

Absolutely stunning roses @mamaduckbone

Did you ever discover what it was @Sweetpea1532 ?

I can finally join in, having started my border. A very slow and steady process. I'd love to just fill it to the brim but I know by next year I'd would be a giant mess so I'm having to try and ignore all the empty muddy spaces.

No @greenerfingers I never did... I got brave and stuck the hose pipe down in the hole. I was ready to run in case a giant animal came out the other side. Fortunately, nothing came out of the hole but water. I think maybe it was 2 squirrel holes close together that collapsed and made one big hole.
The flowers you've chosen are beautiful. I can see why you're tempted to keep on planting more.!

Loving all of your beautiful photos. My new boarder has had abit of a growth spurt and all of the flowers look like they’ve appreciated the rain.

A few more

Wow @SunComeBack your border is amazing..so whimsical and colourful. It looks like all your hard work paid off..Well done you! Thanks for sharing.

SunComeback that border looks great, so healthy amazing what a bit of rain can do!

The purple and white hibiscus 🌺 are out now..

@applecatchers36 Interesting hibiscus! Ive never seen that variety. Each flower seems to be a bit different.
We just have those big tropical kind that have flowers that are almost as big as a dinner plate.

Hey, @beautyisfoundwithin @AlwaysOnAbloodyDiet@BewareTheBeardedDragon are ya'll still gardening? We'd love to see you colour if you are!

@ILikeDungsThey are beautiful. I really love these thread, so much inspiration from all of your lovely photos.
These big tall grass/lilies in my front garden have gone gone crazy over the last couple of weeks, along with all the daisies in the back garden.
After watching lots of videos on tik tok I’m going to try and get these hydrangea cuttings to root. Any tips welcome, I’ve never done it before.

SunComeBack Don't worry at all about your hydrangea cuttings, they will readily root. My SIL stuck a bunch in a pot of compost for me when she trimmed hers and I was terrified of killing them when I was ready to plant them into a hydrangea hedge (even complained about it on another gardening thread and was reassured).

I planted them, they romped away, and later when I cut them back I stuck the trimmings in the ground to thicken the hedge and pretty well all of them took root. They are pretty willing plants.

This is a photo of part of the hedge today, in the rain

Flowers from DH’s birthday dinner last night - all grown from seeds or cuttings by me! <so proud…>

Wow, @KingscoteStaff those are amazing...I 'm in awe at your ability to grow flowers from seeds. I've never had any luck with it nor with propagating
☹️

Lovely mix of flowers.
And pleased to hear hydrangeas grow from cuttings -will do some shortly

The Monarch butterflies are flitting aroynd the gatden today...probably look8ng for some milkweed to lay their eggs on. Trouble is, their friends got here first and have eaten 8 plants worth... Im down to giving the larger caterpillars bits of cucumber and acorn squash. It's not easy being a monarch foster!

The photo is of what's left of my milkweed plants...toothpicks, anyone?

Forgot the milkweed photo

Wow!

@AnneKipankitoo That piece of acorn squash is now quite holey and the cucumber spears are nibbled down to nubs.
Im torn as to how to handle them going forward.
On a more positive note..I came home to a pink gladiolus
and a pink stargazer lily looking very healthy all by themselves with no imput from me.
