Mowgleys retreat

Many thx @Anthony Rogers
Yes the iresine you sent me are doing ok apart from the bl**dy whitefly
Yes the fuchsias you sent me fried when on holiday last year.
The fuchsia bolivina I germinated from seed have whitefly too
I'll send you some seed if you want some.

 

Ha, the bane of a Fuchsia grower..... the little burgers.

Just make sure you've stocked up on washing up liquid

The Iresine make brilliant summer bedding.

Is it the normal Boliviana or the White one ?
If it's the normal then yes please as mine has gone to Fuchsia Heaven :(

PS.... Please don't send any whitefly I've got enough of my own thanks

 

You have a lovely garden well done .

 

Only just seen this, it's gorgeous! Love the border either side of the path with dahlias and the tropical bit. Stunning colour on those Acers too

 

Just catching up on a weed break, what a lovely retreat, I've put hot poker in this year so hoping for as good as show as yours next year

Yes it's been a funny year, like you I'm so far behind but slowly getting there

 

Your garden's looking good Mowgley and it won't be long before the bedding is adding colour.

 

Evening all, just a quick update, the garden has come on quite a lot since early June despite the rubbish June. Pictures took this morning and tonight.
Hope you all enjoy.

It looks lovely .

 

Hu Mowgley,

I knew you'd put us all to shame again this year.
It's absolutely stunning, well done

 

Fab garden Mowgley. Your choice of plants is near identical to me. Youve obviously got the same need for exotics as me.

 

Beautiful Mowgley, it's done you proud!

 

Another update folks hope you enjoy

The ensete getting some height now in its 2nd year.
Can't wait to dig this up in Oct/Nov



The Ricinus are around 4/ 5ft now

 

Looking lovely Mowgs

 

Bit of a update.
Not brought any new plants/palms this year (yet)
Just tried a few new plants from seed, tree dandilion,hibiscus,
Lost a 3 out of the 4 ensetes this year too but at least the biggest survived
Musas basjoo and sikkimensis both left unprotected this winter and both fine
Moved the patio furniture further down the garden into the sun whenever it decides to appear.
Fence panels need re doing but B&M haven't had any black in this year











The brahea seems to grow a new leaf the lose one straight after



Fish are happy though
