What's Looking Good in July 2020

Your trials look like a lot of work @shiney but very interesting

Here are some things in my garden at the moment ...

Penstemon :-



Sanguisorba tenuifolia alba :-



Sanguisorba hakusanensis :-



Oxalis tetraphylla :-





Hardy Diascia :-



Two plants I saved from last year's tubs but I don't know their names :-

 

So sorry to hear about your recent mishap. Must be painful. I wish you a speedy recovery. Since joining GC, I have alwats considered you to be a man of travel etc.

I admit to being a bit of a loner, but if the chance ever arrived. I can well imagine an evening is some country pub around the log fire and to get you talking, and relating some of your experiences. I recall some time ago. I mentioned that as a young police officer, I was stationed at Park Row. East Greenwich. You posted a photo of that police station as having been bombed during the blitz. The station I was attached to was actually in Park Vista, just outside Greenwich park. It was still called Park Row. Strange how things turn out. Another GC member. Our Hon. friend Wise Owl. He worked in Greewich Park. We never met, but we both share a great love for roses.

Whose turn to get the drinks in. Best wishes. Mike.

 

It IS Summertime....

 

A couple of sunflowers.

 

Hibiscus Bluebird, going over now but still some nice blooms, shame they only last a day.


Stargazer.

 

Red Croc.

 

Going past the bottom of my garden there's a single track road that leads nowhere, and I've created a small herbaceous patch there on the old driveway (which was not used any more.)

It's only a rough construction (I'm not very god with DIY !) but it is quite colourful and better to look at than an old disused driveway










Sometimes I take my morning coffee or my afternoon tea down there and sit on the wall by the little road and chat to passers-by. Some of them enjoy gardening and I have given lots of cuttings and plants away, and also had some in return

 

Thank you @Jenny namaste ... it is on my own property where the old driveway came in off the road

 

Lovely rose @wiseowl

 

There is not that much looking good in my garden at the moment. A lot of it came and went very early. There are a few things that are enjoying a second flush. Hopefully there will be a few more soon.
