What's Looking Good In July 2013

That's what I have got

 

Some flowers from the Blue and White border:

From my garden records I reckon this is Ceanothus Victoria ... however I'm not at all sure the size and shape is right ?





Some Iris Blue Magic - which came free with my bulb order from Anglia Bulbs In their first season, so hopefully will bulk-up in the future.





and Salvia patens Patio Deep Blue. It is a bit darker than the photo shows, suits me as I like darker blues Think this came out of the GC Seed Parcel ...

 

And this handsome chap - I'm guessing its Veronicastrum?





and this imposter! in the Blue and White garden - definitely moving to the Exotic garden next year, the strong flowers borne erectly will look good - much better in fact - there:



and this, newly planted, in the Red border - Fuchsia "Thalia" . We've been experimenting with numerous varieties of Amaranthus (in the background) this year. I'll post some pictures when they are fully in flower.

 

Looks like there are wonderful blooms everywhere. Good stuff.

 

A little different but equally as good looking, a few wild flowers in our lawn; which needs a cut really but I always like to enjoy these for a while first

White Clover


Daisies


Buttercup


Selfheal

 

Also looking good I have Hosta flowers




And my young Tetrapanex is coming along nicely too

 

I think that is really lovely - looks quite sturdy too!

 

3 early morning "takes" of the front garden with the sun just rising over my shoulder.

• looking at the salad leaves through the spring onions with the harebells in the background
• 
• a view of the plants by the path to the front door
• 
• and the other side of the path with the Giant fuchsias starting to come out in the window box
• 

 

Looking lovely Jenny - your spring onions are looking a lot more advanced than mine. Think by the time mine are ready I will have to rename them 'Summer onions'!

 

thank you GA. I am trying to resist consuming them for another week. Our gardens are being judged 17/18th July and this is our attempt at growing salad stuff in a limited space. The 3 Red Robin tomatoes are being invaded by the Harebells which are permanent. It's is a raised triangular bed 4ft x 4ft x 4ft !!

Good luck with the judging Jenny on the 17/18th and enjoy the Spring Onions on the 19th!

 

And mine,looking great jenny
Did you have toms in your window box last year? or am i getting muddled again
Im going to do some salad n stuf in the garden next yr instead,ive grown that much at the allotment due to getting giddy in my 1st yr that ive had to give it away x

Love the Sandersonia Spruce!

Keep the mice away from them over the winter - they decimated all of my tubers last winter

 

Had to take a quick shot of this Streptocarpella blooming under the Apple and Willow trees..............
