Our lawn (located on a rare hill in this area) must have helped fill the Thames with the rainfall we had this summer, so I was very interested to...
I shouldn't be posting, because I've done next to nothing other than watch the BH harvesting a bonkers crop of grapes. We've had to give most...
Nothing for the past few days, as I've been reveling in the cooler temperatures, rain, and drizzle. Fantastic!
Having watered pots yesterday, I held off this morning due to the forecast. Thankfully, the forecast heavy rain materialised. Normally, I water...
Like many others, just did watering yesterday. It was too hot to do anything else. Unlike @Balc I'm a novice at growing Morning Glory, so we've...
Too hot (29C) to water today ironically, but needs must. Fifty minutes of hosing and watering can later, job done but seriously, enough was enough!
My better half and I saw a rack of seriously neglected plants outside a shop, priced at £10. "How much each for these two would you offer?" says...
The zinnias and marigolds in pots on the patio are looking like they're struggling from lack of sunshine and in hindsight, this year's lush vine...
Having given all the pots tomato feed yesterday, just marveled at the unbroken sunshine today. Was that summer?! :scratch:
We tried to have lunch in the garden yesterday. The wasps had other ideas, so beating the retreat within minutes, the sun also disappeared. The...
A wonderfully sunny, warm day - such a tonic after weeks of grey skies and rain. I watered pots and sat in the sun, soaking it up. Lovely!
We have a patchy lawn laid on old builders' rubble soil. Last year's drought clobbered it as you would expect but this year it has been in the...
A dry day yesterday, but as usual, mainly overcast. I reckon the predominantly cloudy and wet weather accounts for the fact so many of our pot...
Yesterday was the first dry day in weeks, so rearranged pots, deadheaded and sat in the sun. Raining again today. :sad:
Virtually nothing in the last week or so, due to daily rain. It's great for the garden, but it would be lovely to have a day or so per week of...
I spotted this fern while at a local National Trust place this week, and wonder if any fern gurus can ID? Thanks in advance. Chris
Just to repeat that this forum is amazing. Friendly members, quick and knowledgeable replies. Thanks, all. :yay:
Me again...! After digging up a gooseberry shrub that was going nowhere fast, this plant was underneath. I planted native bluebells a few years...
Hi all. I have a few plant ID apps, which are inconclusive re this ID, which say possibly Flaming Katy, but the petals on my plant are more...
Excellent point, @noisette47 - summer screen is the main need, so your annuals recommendations look interesting. Hope all's well in your neck of...
