My Cottage Garden,..glengarry23.

Hi Victoria,..we have that Honey Fungus here as well,..touch wood it has not hit my garden,..it can spread easily enough,..looks like wee mushrooms,..honey in colour

 

The far end of the garden is certainly full of plants.



Above it all is a no Id rose bush,..i seldom manage to capture an image of its blooms but below is one image.



Mophead Hydrangea.









Phlox 'Windsor'






Rose (Rosa 'Handel'),..fading after blooming two weeks ago but still attractive.



A no ID rose.

 

Haha yes I know what that's like and I'm glad to know it doesn't only happen to me - My garden has many hidden secateurs and trowels and even mugs of tea and coffee

 

I tend to 'hang' secateurs and little snippers on the branches of nearby trees or shrubs close to wherever I'm working.......only to find them in Winter when all the leaves have dropped. Oops.

 

I have never lost anything! Guess because I am such a creature of habit. This goes for outdoors and indoors. On the rare occasion I can't find something, it is because I put it exactly where it should be ... a place for everything and everything in its place. My Sis was the same. J on the other hand can't find something he a moment before had and I often have to suggest to him where he may have put/left it!

I tell a fib ... I lost a gold pinky ring when I fell and it came off and fell in the Myrtus ... never did find it but am sure it is still in the earth somewhere.

 

@Michael Hewett ,..@Upsydaisy,..@Victoria,..

You gave me a great laugh reading what you all lost in the garden,..then started thinking of the worst thing i had forgotten,..i used to have rented out Aquariums to Bars and Hotels,..the nearest one was a Bar some 10 mins away on a bicycle,..it was far quicker that by car,..arrived there entered the bar and realised i had forgotten my teeth,..legged it out quickly of course and headed back home

 

My Hibiscus 'Woodbridge',..never flowered last year and it looked as if it would be the same this year,..this week it suddenly produced lots of buds and at last blooms.






No Id Roses.










General views.

 

Love all the shots Philip, especially the general views!.

Now that made me laugh! Also reminded me of a time in The States when I went shopping, got to the front doors of the store and noticed my feet ... one black shoe and one dark green, both kitten heels but totally different styles ... I too hot footed it back home!!!

 

We are well into the Traditional Autumn,..the Meteorologists Autumn starts in eight days Sept 1st,..not for the first year i feel those dates should not be heeded anymore,..my blooms at present have another idea

My blood red rose starting another show.



Alstroemeria looking great.

 

Stunning blooms.

 

Amazingly mine is still blooming with this heat.

Hydrangeas growing against my bedroom window,..must cut them back and move them as the Air to Water system is due to be set up soon.















Phygelius 'Funfare Orange'

 

Beautiful Philip.

How are you doing, I really hope everything is going well for you. Take it easy and don't overdo things. X

 

A true cottage garden. What is an air to water system?

 

Your plants are still flowering well, the roses are especialy pretty.

I was wondering that too
