    The picture is great, but way too big for the forums.
    Try again and make sure that the width measures no more than 500 pixels.

    What a lovely garden you have Newgrowth - a very typically English one so well done with all your planting. I look forward to seeing many more photographs of it. Our Scottish thistles can really make a statement can't they? :stew1:

    Oh dear, Eileen! This REALLY is an English garden. My avatar and this photo are from a trip to England/Scotland that I took last year. I rarely seem to take photos of my garden but I go nuts with the camera when I am travelling. I love to take photos of gardens everywhere else, though. (teehee) I stayed at a bed and breakfast here and the owner was a gardener extraordinaire. Unfortunately, she said the garden was suffering greatly that summer due to intense heat and drought and that I had missed it at its best. I still love to look at the pic and enjoy the garden.
