SUMMER time and the living is easy!
Your Hampshire gardens are at their fullest, overflowing with bright blooms and the fragrance of flowers.
As temperatures rise, many of the spring flowering shrubs and bulbs take a back step, and putting the sizzle into summer are predominantly the herbaceous perennials and the bedding plants.
We are taking a look over the garden fence at these stunning floral displays produced by our green-fingered readers.
We'd love to see more of your beautiful blooms.
