Mid August Garden

Great blog Janey. Your garden is looking beautiful. Love the rudbeckias. My R.deamii aren't out yet.

What a lot of lovely colour Janey! I do like your Swan River Daisies . . . and great to hear mention of Anchorman - is he still around do you know?

Some new ones I bought Meadow, are still looking sad, but they seem to have been nibbled, I've had so many white butterflies in the garden, I think their caterpillars are the culprits...:(

Thanks Karen, it's been a great summer here, and another hot sunny day today.. I'm so pleased you're doing well with your open days, your garden is a joy to see and a credit to you.

Hi Sheila..yes, I love those, just a packet of seeds from Wilkos, but so pretty for tubs and baskets..:))
I don't know about Anchorman Sheila...I pop in and out of GoY when I can. I'm spending a lot of time with Mum, she's 96 now, but not so steady..

Thanks Janey, I shall look out for some of those seeds. I was trying to remember Anchorman's name the other day (he'd written a blog about long-flowering perennials), so you helped me! I've just looked up his profile - still there, not deleted, but hasn't posted for several years.

Your Mum must be very grateful for your company; hope she doesn't live too far away from you.

Lovely blog Janey,your garden looks beautiful.

I'll dry some Sheila when it's time and send them onto you. Thanks Sheila, yes Mum is about 10 miles from me and partially sighted, but still managing up to now...:))

Aww thanks Callie, I've really enjoyed it this year!

Lots of good colour in your garden Janey ... lovely photos.

Wow thanks Janey - I'll PM you my new address . . .

Thanks Tt, yes late summer colour is really lovely..

Wow you do have some fabulous colour in your garden, we are short of colour atm, hopefully it will come back now we have rain and cooler temperatures..
Your garden is an absolute picture.....

Aww, thank you very much Dd...I've remembered to feed the pots and tubs this year...it has made a difference..

It sure does.....

Janey, your garden is so full of colour, looks wonderful!

Thanks Shirley...mmm....it's not too bad this year..ha ha!
All the wet and all the heat has certainly suited it!

Beautiful pictures, your garden is very colourful :)

Thanks very much Hywel, it's having a good water today..:))

Yes it's very wet isn't it :)

Very and cold here...:((

Here too, not a bit like August :(
but I am still wearing my shorts ! lol

Ha ha...brave boy! I put my heating on for a short while, then remembered 2 hours later!

Heating on here also. Maybe we'll have a nicer autumn :)

Janey - I have several spare seeds: Salvia viridis 'pink sundae', Malva moschata alba, and Lythrum salicaria (purple loosestrife). Do let me know if you'd like any of these :)

Oh Sheila...how lovely! Yes please, I'd love to try the Salvia and the Malva, I do have the purple loosestrife, it does pop up here and there..
That's great, both the Salvia and the Malva, should be happy in the heat...thanks so much..X

On their way soon . . . x
