Just sharing......

........a picture of a volunteer autumn clematis trying to eat a birdhouse in our herb garden!  


The yellow flower is dill......

How is your garden doing this summer?  Ours is not so great this year.........vegetables and roses are sub-standard - too much rain??  And it seems that we have all kinds of things munching - deer and Japanese Beetles at the moment, though we may be making progress with the deer using a spray my DH has been applying.  So I'm concentrating on the parts that are doing well.

The purple bee-balm isn't showing any signs of mildew yet!  But I didn't see any bees except a big bumble.....



Our little courtyard is mostly in the shade, so it always thrives!  These are Patriot hostas and Japanese Painted Fern, with a bit of Lenten Rose leaves at the top.



Thanks for stopping by!

Lovely photos of your garden Lin! Your opening sentence made me laugh!
My garden is doing alright considering all the cold and rainy weather. The herbs in the planters are doing really good though. :)

Fabulous flowers Lin, and a pity about the less than stella summer you are experiencing - I have not got much other than cyclamen and early cheer growing at the moment, being pretty much mod winter here :)
