Love your gardens. Holy moly.
England I take it? If so, your garden reminds me my mother-inlaw's friend in Oxford. Flowers and trees and prettiness all-around. So charming.
thanks. close to England, guess where

lupin, monkey flowers, marigold, snapdragon( I call them snappies).
Seeds were blown by the wind and I got this lovely snapdragon plant just between my decking and the house's wall

I didn't even know this forum existed! I am a total newbie at gardening. I got hooked this spring. This is my very small fig tree or as my son calls it "Ms. Figgy." I was told she wouldn't have fruit this year, so this is a surprise. Thank you for allowing to share

^congratulations on your beautiful little figs! yum yumI didn't even know this forum existed! I am a total newbie at gardening. I got hooked this spring.

Loving all the new pics. I've never seen a fig tree. Really cool looking.
I've still not planted the veggies. My neighbor also told me his landscaping friend would pay top dollar for my hostas, which are huge, healthy, and gorgeous. I love them, but let me tell you, if I could get $40+ per plant like he said, they'd be dug out fast as can be, and I'd keep enough to start over. I've got at least 30 hostas, so the dollar signs were flying for me 
. I don't like being broke...not like anyone does.
Foxglove is biennial, so each plant blooms every two years. I bought a couple yellow one year, and the next year, I bought a different type: odd years, I get the yellow ones; even years, I get the tiny brown and few lovely pinks I have. Now I have foxglove every year.

I don't like being broke...not like anyone does.I'm drooling over the plants you can grow. do all foxglove bloom different colors biennially? my aunt (lives near DC) had a beautiful light purple gradient foxglove with a very long stalk (I don't know if that's the right word for it), but it broke. she thinks it broke due to all of the cicadas that are out now
you're so smart to put your "weeding" to good use. please post more pics when you feel like it. so cute that your kitty plays nicely while you garden. my dogs eat some of my plants, pee on some, bring me sticks to play fetch, & try to stand in front of me to lick my face while I'm down on their level (standing on whatever happens to be in their way). luckily most of the subtropical plants here are very hardy. I have the same garden philosophy as you do (whatever makes it, makes it), so my garden is full of tough plants.

I'd be selling those hostas too. the ones you keep will fill out & get as big in time.Loving all the new pics. I've never seen a fig tree. Really cool looking.

ah, I didn't know that about foxgloves (I live in zone 10-11, so I can't grow them here). great idea to plant them in different colors on alternating years.
Lol...oh ya. My neighbor was mowing for me (because my new mower broke...ugh), and he saw all my giant ones and said, "I really need to get my friend over here." Yes, you do.
He was looking at a smaller one and saying it could be split four ways at 20 a piece. My big ones are HUGE beyond huge. I keep counting in my head and hoping. If my neighbor is right, we could harvest a mortgage payment!

your hostas can get you a mortgage payment? that's awesome!

If my neighbor is even close to accurate, oh yes. Wouldn't that rock? I'd dig em out with a teaspoon if they'll pay the mortgage.

Here are the foxglove. And peonies are open...just suddenly they pop open with a zillion petals.
