Still beautiful weather.........

6 comments

This has without doubt, been the best summer weather we’ve ever had in the North East of England, hot but not too hot, dry but with ‘just in time’ heavy rain to save the plants from total wilt.

This sunflower was the first one we’ve ever grown from seed, it got very battered in the wind before flowering, so I cut it and put it in a jar of water for a while then stuck it in the end of a trough with other flowers. It came absolutely beautifully.

This is the first time of buying single flower dahlia, picked them because you got free bees, two of them travelled home in the car with us. Can watch them for hours and the bees are everywhere.

This is another new addition for this year, a Crab Apple Tree for the birds and the blossom. Waiting for my Cosmos to flower but the heads are appearing and they are lovely and bushy.

I hadn’t planned Gladioli this year but I got 40 bulbs free with a plant order, they are pretty and still many to come.

This is the middle area with about half of my pots, waiting for the Sedum to come, bees will love that too.
