@zenj I so want your rain.. No rain again tonight. Nor was there any last night. We were promised some last night and tonight. Chris Fawks was so cheerful when he said we could avoid rain... But I love rain, Chris ... Don't look so cheerful next time... please!

 

Thanks @alp, mine are gradually opening up but still have some across the garden that are at the tight bud stage.

 

Now you can do a close up for us to drool over it! No pressure there though. Hilarious as they are now planted in a line next to the nicotianas.. When will I learn??

My labelling is diabolical..

 

Very exotic Alp, warming up this sunny & bright evening even more. 2-3 gloves in a small sauce pan of boiling water for 10-15 minutes, leave to cool to room temperature then spray away

 

@Mark56 Will do that as there are so many of the little critters round here. Love your flowers, Mark! Going to renew my RHS membership, but flower shows are a bit pricey for me. Oh, dear! Summer solstice has just gone and from now on, days will get shorter..

 

Well done, garden looks great.All nice and tidy.

 

@alp stunning colours.

 

Morning all

 

Good morning to everyone, hope you are all well today...if not then ' get well hugs' are sent to you..

A nice breeze is fliting the curtains this morning, and the sun is shining!!

Put the kettle on @shiney....I'm on my way!......a bit partial to custard cream...ot two !!


Keep up with the deadheading and have yourselves a Snipping Good Sunday!!

 

@shiney You've robbed me of my plan B!

Good morning (and I must remember to deadhead my rose) It drizzled a bit and not enough to wet the ground..

Water a bit of my favorites and repotted 30 dying strepts.

It's now very bright and with a bit of breeze, good for sweeping away foul air..

Going bargain hunting or feasts for the eyes later. Have fun, everybody!

 

Good morning folks
Dry and bright.......in for a good day
Got a few peaches out there, blueberries and blackcurrants to pick....couple of tomatoes too. Gooseberries mostly eaten now.....for me best when sharp and green. Peas too to pick

 

Yum.....oops.....taxi is here, see you soon @shiney!

 

Sounds like a good harvest @Verdun
