Hi Cristina ... you're quick! Thank you! I intend to grow lots more MGs next year!!

lol gud ,they are lovely. try the mixed flowers , got a pic on mine some where .

Going for a peek!

I had loads of Morning Glory last year but this years didn`t survive our dry spell at the beginning of the season, yours are a delght to look at........Phoebe is gorgeous too....

Love your MG. Never had any success with them. Phoebe looks well put out. Our cats have left their footprints all over the garden because they loved the feel of wet cement and plodded though every load that went in. They were great companions for my husband when the rest of the family abandoned him. I hope they relaid the path?

Great blog. You have spectacular plants!!!!

Hi Fluff! Sorry to hear about your leaning house wall. hope that it's soon sorted! Absolutely wonderful photos, your garden still looking great despite the chaos around you...hope 'normality' returns soon... :~))

lol floribunda I'm sure it says the path not the wall was leaning.

Oops! Tee hee hee! Sorry!! :~))

Nothing worse than workmen about the house Fluff !! :~(( MG's boootiful !! Love the look on Pheobe's face ... ! lol :~))

Thanks Linclass ... MGs need loads of water I've found & I let a few go dry last year. They are lovely to see as I go to work in the mornings!

Scotsgran ... thank you ... it wasn't the cats who put their foot in the fresh cement ... it was next door's little boy! He came running in saying the new path made a squelchy noise!! :O)

Thank you very much Pip ... I was very careful not to let any weeds show in the photos!! ;o))

Hi Flori ... thank you & yes it's just the path not the wall thank goodness ... the ground is very wet around the house ... hence the subsidence.

Hey B8 ... I still think your variety is the best colour! ;o))

Lovely photos Fluff, apart from your poor Nasturtiums, mine were destroyed by blackfly so caterpillars didn`t get a chance to munch on them! Well done for making sure the workmen took care of your plants, working in a garden centre I hear customers horror stories about what workmen have done to their gardens...it doesn`t bear thinking about!

Thanks Lab ... they were very good really ... moved things gently etc but then they were all 3 over 45 & I think older men have had gardens & know how precious plants are to people ... either that or they've had more years of getting their ears bent about trashing them!!
I really couldn't believe how quickly the nasturtiums were totally eaten! One minute they were fine & the next they were lunch! :o(

lovely photos especially Phoebe & the morning glory

Thank you Elsiemay ... :o))

i dont blame phoebe for being upset i would be to, i hate having workmen in, you cant relax, morning glory is beautifull fluff, is it hardy or not, i like it,
lovely pics all round really, and yeas we had lovely weekend at baz`s sisters wedding and sunshine all weekend here, brilliant ;o))

Well they're gone now thanks San! Don't think the MG is hardy ... are there hardy ones?

Glad the weekend's do went well ... you must need a rest this week!!

im not sure if hardy or not, dont know anything about them fluff, so your the expert on these , yes had my rest as i dont work till thursday, but saying that im busy getting shopping in for my cooking and baking for joe`s 18th on bank holiday which we are all looking forward to ;o))

Yes I thought you'd said you had more jollies to come this weekend! Happy 18th to Joe then & hope you all have a lovely time.xx

thankyou so much fluff ;o)) x

Those nasturtiums are the best I've seen this year! ;^)

Love the blog Fluff, the Asters are looking lovely and colourful. I think the flowers that have discs may be 'Honesty', but I'm not sure. Have they finished your path now, and is it straight this time? Workmen can be a nuisance, but we all need them at one time or another don't we?

Ha ha Anchorman ... yes ... from the Garden of Horrors!!

Hi Silverbelle ... good to hear from you ... thank you ... yes the workmen have laid a lovely straight path & left saying 'wonder how long that will last!'. They know how wet it is round here!
Think the discs are much smaller than Honesty & I used to know the name ... if someone says it I'll pretend I knew it all along! Lol!! :o))

Of course you do Fluff............you're only testing us to see how much we know! Lol ;-))

;o)))

great blog, love those cherry million bells on your bench and the beautiful dianthus, and morning glory :^)

Thank you Daylily ... sorry to be so late in replying ... it's been a busy time! Everything is going over a bit now ... it's been so windy! ;o)

Hope everything sorted, just looking again and those flowers with the little discs are they a type of euphorbia :^)

Yes I think so Daylily. I think it looks like euphorbia cyparissias.

Oh yes! Told you I'd know if you said it! (Honest silverbelle!!).
Well done Daylily & Scotsgran! Thank you!! :o))

I believed you Fluff, and it's a pretty plant whatever it's called, I do like it.............the pink edges give it a lovely dreamy quality ;-))

:o))))

Just catching up with all I've missed over the last month or so. Your morning glory photos are lovely - mine came to nothing this year in spite of being started off in the greenhouse. I will try again next year and plant them in a pot instead of in the ground. Hope all your unheaval is over and done with now so you can enjoy a peaceful autumn :)

Hi Gee ... thank you! I think I'll try lots of different MGs next year ... start them off much earlier & put them all together! Yes it's all over now ... including the MGs ... kept lots of seed though! :o)
