Whats Looking Good August 2022

It's a weird old summer..

 

No its not.

Got a Bougainvillea that says its a good summer.

 

And the Figs are liking it.
Getting at least this many every day now.

 

Hot country stuff Pete.

 

OK ,ok......

My neighbour has a load of yummy figs too.
This year despite having blossom on all our trees / bushes this is the first year ever that we haven't got a single apple, pear, grape or blackberry!! Plenty of plums, blueberries, strawberries, tomatoes and cucumbers though.

 

Goes to prove you cant please all of the plants all of the time.

My grapevines have gone bananas this year, if you know what I mean, but the amount of fruit isn't great.

 

Strange isn't it ,we had loads of cherries but they dried up and dropped off...even the poor birds missed out on their treat!
Our neighbours have apples on their Bramley and the hedgerows are full of blackberries too.

 

Last night, Night Lights ... Myrtus 'Tarentina' in foreground, Jacaranda mimosifokia above, Hibbertia scandens climbing, Chlorophytum comosum ‘Variegatum’ hanging, various Begonias and Schlumbergera on ledge ...

 

That looks lovely @Victoria

 

Thank you Michael It is a North facing wall. The Pelargoniums are to go back up on the right hand side this weekend.

 

One of my Asclepias Tuberosa grown from seed ( many thanks @Sheal ) has bloomed...so excited!

 

Very pretty Upsy and well done. I have some seeds I haven't planted but have seen it wild here, two tone.

 

Oh well done @Upsydaisy! It's a pretty flower, is it perfumed? I brought mine back inside a few weeks ago but there's not much change, very strange.

 

Thanks @Sheal , do you know..I was so ecstatic that I totally forgot to check ! , I will tomorrow and let you know. I'm not sure if the other one will bloom this year though.

I moved mine so that they were in full sunshine ( outdoors) and this one almost straightaway developed tiny buds.
