Garden colour this date. No killing frost to date.

Amazing how many of those plants can be grown in my own hot tropical climate - mandevilla, roses, nasturtium, vinca, dahlias, abutilon?, scented geranium?, thunbergia and so on.

A beautiful setting Durgan - is it a spruce you have? - the tree in one of the bottom pics. You must really enjoy your summers because the season is so short. I don't suppose you'd ever complain about the heat

lots of colours there, I see a lot of familiar ones I grow as well

All Canadians talk about the weather. It is either too hot or too cold. One Englishman mentioned that Canadians talk about the weather continuously because it is so extreme-not like England. Anyway it was a good laugh.

The tree is Spruce, I cut the top off and it got fat, but now I will let it grow tall.
