My garden on this feast August day in Croatia, the Assumption of Mary (or Velika Gospa) ... perhaps not as lush as some of the August months years back, and perhaps already one foot deep in autumn's cauldron, and perhaps even quite a weird month concerning weather, droughts, lethal humidity, more draughts, and then violent winds, hailstorms ... nag, nag, nag. Do gardeners ever stop complaining about the weather? Just when they are bursting with gardening energy, it is usually raining cats and dogs. And then after spending all those weeks and months dreaming of summer days and all the benefits that sun will unleash upon their garden babies, right then, just like that, guess who comes out nagging about the unbearable heat ? So instead of fussing about something we cannot change (anymore), let's take a walk through the garden and ask if anybody's got something to say... with a special thanks to Carol of May Dreams Gardens, I'm delighted to both share and enjoy the blooms from all over the world.

All blooms are so gorgeous ... but the Capparis really caught my eye. What a stunner!
No ... I don't think gardeners will ever stop complaining about the weather ... we worry about the consequences of bad weather so much ... and can't believe the good weather when it comes!
Welcome to GBBD - I am in central Italy and most envious of your fabulous blooming garden. complimenti!

What a wonderful garden! So beautiful! Have a nice week ahead! Greetings from Vienna!
Violet girl ! Your garden is gorgeous! .. I feel like the summer has rushed by so quickly we didn't even have one ? Not that I am complaining because we know how much I love October and Halloween:)
Yes ! That Capparis is beautiful for sure: ) .. it is a gray day with a bit of rain here .. I don't mind since I can't really get in the garden still .. mending the body seems to take longer and longer ? wink wink
Joy : )
Your garden looks great. I can't tell by the pictures that you've had any bad weather. The Capparis spinosa is beautiful.
Slažem se - vrijeme je očajno ove godine! Jedva čekam jesen pa da se ne moram više nadati lijepom vremenu. Cvijeće ti je prekrasno i mislim daj već netko komentirao - uopće se ne vidi da si imala problema s vremenom!
Just when you wonder "what's the use", something spectacular happens in the garden and hope is renewed! You've shared wonderful photos and I've enjoyed them very much... L
It's so nice seeing your garden again Violet! Your August blooms are beautiful.
Hey, wow, your garden looks so lovely. The Hydranges are an eye catcher... wonderful.
Hmmm, yes... gardeners and their weather is a topic for itself. You can bet that when ever I take the hedge cutting tools out it starts to rain. Grrrrrr.... But maybe it's a sign, that my husband should cut the hedge *smile*.
Take care

Wow! Very informative and useful tips about how to keep our green gardening beautiful and to keep it green all year round. I think putting up some flowers, barbeque grills and fountain also helps our garden more perfect, and some more types of vegetables. Thanks for sharing this.
I'm hoping, since you have a garden in Croatia, that you could tell me the name of the plant that is sort of like swiss chard or collard greens- I believe it is called "Cupusa" or "Kupuse". I think it is usually cooked with broth and ham. I'm trying to track the plant down. Thanks!
