WHAT'S LOOKING GOOD IN JULY 2018

Morning Logan. Check out K. Gold too.

 

Morning Verdun yes i will thanks.

 

Not very exciting I know but last year it was September before anything showed. There are about a half dozen buds already to bloom. Fingers crossed for a good display.

Sorry I've just noticed your post. That's great,glad that you've got it running ok.

 

Looking good @martin-f so dark purple.

 

Gary it looks nice mate but i'd give it some water in the day as the leaves look a bit wilted or is it me

Martin beautiful show mate and such a rich colour

 

Persicaria Orangefield.....that clump is about 8' wide so makes quite an impact. No maintenance, no deadheading and flowers into autumn

 

Dont usually post pictures of individual flowers but Veronica First Love is quit striking I think......besides I fondly remember a Veronica at school!!

 

Morning Verdun,they both look amazing, it's good when anything doesn't need any maintenance.

Was Veronica your first love?

 

Ha ha Logan. Not really .

Re persicaria, there are some real beauties out there. Check out Fat Domino for example which is flowering now. Will post pictures when more full of flowers. I have a few varieties here including a white one. They all make big weed free clumps

 

Some of the plants I see here just have me going "woooaah look at them!"

You guys are very talented!

 

Here's how my two plants are doing -

My peas are coming along, I took a pod and popped it open earlier and they are still immature so I think I'll give the fatter ones a few more days and they should be great!

(Some of the plants that are on either side are drying out and I think it's because they were up against the plastic pot so I inserted a curved stick to try and stop them from touching the sides).



My morning glories have not flowered yet but they have grown healthily, I don't think they will flower until the next month or two.



And this is my mother-in-laws rockery, the gardener does this but I think he does a good job of it =]



But there we go, nothing astronomical but I am otherwise proud that I managed to grow many of two types of plants fairly healthily being restricted to using pots.

 

Hello Verdun I have to agree with @Logan nice to see plants with no worry of maintenance but are stunning to the eye

Actually I think you've done well as some plants find pots restricting especially the ones I've brought and within a year they've had to be planted in the garden ...the garden looks nice
