I love my garden at this time of year. I (almost) can't see any of my neighbours houses.

 Hi Biker_ Babe and Glitterqueen
Still no rain here this week and I have just been watering the plants.
Like you GQ my garden has loads of shrubs and trees that screen us
off from the houses round about us.
One can sit out in the sun and not feel overlooked.

Mine's a jungle! It may be hot and dry where you are, but it's hot and wet, turn and turn about, up here on the north-east coast. I've had my first pound-and-a-half crop of cherries from the tree and will pick another load tomorrow. I went and did some weeding but I want to leave even the dying-off flowers for the bees - there aren't so many this year, so they need all the encouragement I can give them.
I'm not a gardener; I have a garden - it grows, people give me plants, tell me occasionally I need to (whatever) - so I do - and nature does the rest!

Hi toffeekit.
Had a bit of heavy rain over the last few days here but sadly nature isn't enough for my very dry soil right now. Your cherries crop sounds good please can I have some 
More rain forecast here today but nothing yet!!
Brought only two plants from my days visit to the RHS Hampton Court Place Flower Show on members day Wednesday, one is a zebra grass. Some folks trugs were filled to the brim with plants but I felt that if I got a trug I would be able to stop myself from buying, then having to think about space to fit them in in the van we came in and along with the 10 other folk in our group plus their plants to! One lady had a trug full plus her OH was carrying thelarge over spill!.
Had a lovely but long day there left home at 8 am and wasn't home till gone 9 pm.
Plenty of celebs there at the show and saw Joe Swift plus got a photo of him 
One heavy down pour at around 2 pm but after that we had sun and the evening ended with a parting view of the sun going down on the bridge near by to the palace and the river glimmering.
