Morning all, clear some more ground for cosmos.

 

Good morning to all: Very bright and coolish.. Have a lovely day! May the flowers be with you!

 

Morning folks.....hmmmm! Wet again . Very little sun over past few days
Hymenocallis have started to flower
Sorting out paperwork this morning.....insurances etc.,...for a friend who is not good with this stuff. Yesterday I saved him £70 on his car insurance so expecting to do similar things today.
Grrrrr! Hate this rain though
Have fruitful day everyone

 

Good morning to each and every one of you, hope this finds you all well. Anyone feeling under the weather then I hope things improve for you very soon.

Mmm...no brightness here sadly, very grey looking out there

No real plans for today, so will probably carry on sowing and taking cuttings. Will definitely need to take more cuttings from the Lavenders as they have now grown so big and woody and need replacing .

I absolutely love taking cuttings from random plants and shrubs that catch my eye...then waiting with anticipation to see the first signs of new growth!.. Family and friends have fortunately got use to me nosing around their gardens with my little clippers
Plants for free make my day!

Have a Thrifty Thursday!!!

 

Some snaps for which I nearly broke my camera

Penstemon barbatus

Lovely echinacea purpurea


Sunflower from birdseed?


Fuchsias Garden News (I think!)


Primula auricula



A big orange dahlia


Wish you were here to see the colour for yourself.. This is rubbishy colour!

 

Barney is a Border Terrier. They are notoriously stubborn. Barney will not walk without at least one (or even two) toys in his mouth.

 

He's adorable!!! How old is he?

 

Is he yours Mark? Looks full of mischief :rasp:

 

Ah...sooooooooooo cute


Oh sorry!.......nearly forgot..............the pics are lovely too......just not quite as lovely as Barney

 

He's very flattered by all your comments and is currently zonked by my feet. We've had him since 8 weeks and he's now just over 1. Still full on & hyper but incredibly loving and affectionate. I've grown up with the breed so know them inside out.

 

Agastache Apricot Sprite

 

Ah....... double cutie!!
Dogs you just got to love them......they don't care who they show their wares too!

 

Na.....keep trying @Mark56 ......Barney still lovelier that the Agastache.

That reminds me I grew some this year...mmm..wonder where they are?

 

@Mark56 he's adorable, there's a few border terrier's around here and a few of these.

This is Bracken.
