    Thanks Jenny ;) Well, some is accidental but it is for the bees and my haphazard way of planting.. You will note the foxglove has grown through the old washing line.. I was going to chuck the line out till it became a plant support.. :roflol:

              @longk you will probably like this one as it has small, delicate flowers.

                  We've been picking the chillies as they ripen - just one week. Although all the plants are from the seeds from just one chilli the heat from each plant is different - but all are pretty hot and a few are very hot.

                  We grow the artichokes for their flowers and I think this one will start to open in a week or two.

                        @strongylodon - I thought that my Oleander was late, but clearly not. Your Eucomis is early though isn't it?

                        Roscoea scillifolia has bloomed well this year, but this has been the first good bloom as the rest have been damaged by sun (I think)..................

                          Sorry, the Penstemon has been there a number of years and was a cutting that Mrs Shiney took from someone's garden. They didn't know what it was. :noidea:
