August Vibes
For August, the weather hasn't been too bad with warm to mild temperatures and several marine layers this week that have lasted until noon. In addition to getting some gardening chores accomplished, I took some photos -
Beautiful photos of a beautiful garden, Phillip! However, given that your bench shot shows that a geranium has taken over, it looks as though you haven't given yourself many opportunities to sit down and enjoy it ;)
Oh, my! So beautiful. I remember when you put those steps in... The bench shot in particular is romantic and magazine worthy: I'm glad Michael insisted :-D I see your Phormium is fully recover since a couple of winters ago. Right above it in the far left corner: are those 'red twig' dogwood branches in the large pot? Chavli
How beautiful, you've created a masterpiece! I especially love the path photos #3 & #5. So lush, your garden looks like it appreciates the mild summer.

Your garden is so lovely, Phillip! Each path draws your eye further in...so lush. Debbie Crockett
I have cut the phormium down close to the ground for the past two seasons. Now that I know it will rebound, it is painless. Those twigs are a variety of different things, spray-painted red by Michael.
I've been following you and your garden for a while via your emails, and it just gets more beautiful every year! Thanks so much for sharing your gardening passion!
Love these photos. An inspiration for a Vancouver Island gardener. What is the purple flowering bush, very tall, in photo #8? Love your use of colours. Divine!
