In my garden today

Some flowers in the garden this morning. These are surviving on soapy dishwater during the dry spell and hose pipe ban in Northern Ireland. 

I've had a massive clearout of plants over the last few months to make the garden more manageable and enjoyable so it doesn't have the "mature" look that I love but hopefully it will recover with some TLC

 Handel climbing rose

 Surfinia petunias and pelargonium

 Pansies

 Castor oil plant - Fatsia Japonica

 Aster

 Marigold - they are everywhere in the garden! I use them in salads and also to stop bleeding if I cut myself
