    Aloha everyone,

    I've finished my gardening for the day :blue thumb: and from now on I shall be ensconced indoors in the cool. :)

    The forecast here is 32C and the plants haven't been enjoying it. Droopy hanging baskets, pots and tomatoes, even with two waterings a day! The sprinkler is working hard and I'll be moving it around the garden.

    Bees are already very busy down in the veg plot. The Verbascum chaixii have now come into bloom and the bees love it. With well over 100 flower spikes and about 100 small flowers on each they are going to have a field day. :yes:

    Keep cool and have a great day :biggrin:

    Aloha!

      Good morning @shiney whenever I see Aloha it always reminds me of this beautiful Rose;)

      Scent Strength/Very Scented (10 / 10)
      Will tolerate a small amount of shade
      Very disease resistance
      Very attractive to bees and wildlife

        @wiseowl that's a lovely looking rose. It seems to have a number of individual rosettes within each flower head. :blue thumb: I can almost smell it from here. :biggrin:

          Morning early people :)

          A hot night, but at least the wind was blowing thru the place, along with all the bits of tree falling off, they really need some rain.

          Off to garden at the National Truss again today [​IMG]

          Have a good day everyone :)

              Good morning everyone, It is pretty hot already, I must go out and water before it gets any hotter . Just taken Amber out for her run well more of a walk this morning didn't want to get her too hot. I like to see the sun but I do not appreciate heatwaves much. I am a spring and autumn person. Steve's gone to Chelmsford to tile two shower cubicles. I don't envy him one bit.

              Happy Canada Day Penny.
              Have a good day everyone, stay cool and safe from the sun. God bless.:wub2:

                  Good morning All,
                  I hope you are all keeping well & enjoying the weather :SUNsmile:

                  Another beautiful day here :spinning:. I've got a few bits & bobs to do in the garden before I venture back out to work, well you have to get your priorities right don't you! :lunapic 130165696578242 5:.
                  Nora the hen has got over her spell of being broody, I suspect it's too hot in the coop all day!

                  We have a hedgehog visiting the garden at night :), we've seen him two nights in a row, of course I'm delighted :hapydancsmil: I've given him some cat food & water, poor little mite seemed hungry & thirsty....or just very greedy! :heehee:

                  Enjoy your day folks, be careful in this heat, I don't want any of you getting heat stroke. :grphg:

                    Afternoon all,:spinning:

                    Hope you are keeping cool images (1).jpg , oh yes:sofa::whistle:

                    Got my gardening done by 8 a.m.

                    Sat in a lovely draught, and got all my ironing done, aided by an ice cold Cappucino, and
                    a caffelatte chocolate bar with cinnamon. download.jpg images (2).jpg

                    Got all windows open and curtains closed, billowing, so hopefully keeping everything
                    cool.

                    Keep showering, not in cold water, should be tepid.:blue thumb:
