Summer came to visit.

Up today to a beautiful sunny morning so gardening was my priority, I`ve mowed the lawns, cut two hedges and let myself loose with the pruning shears, in fact I stayed out until my evening meal was ready which my daughter prepared for us..


The Ceanotus is now cut back and down before it escaped over the fence into my neighbours..


My Berberis showing a bit of colour, I was a bit concerned when it all turned green…


The Hydrangea is doing a bit better this year and the Fuschias are now perking up as well…

In fact there were lots of us enjoying the sun today as well as me..

Flowers appearing on the beans at long last…

The lettuce went mad this week and something ate my onions even though the net was over, I`ve tried beetroot twice this year without success so gave up…


Not many apples again this year but the plum tree is loaded, my cucumbers and tomato`s are doing well in the g`houses and I have two buckets of carrots that appear to be doing well, only time will tell..
Morgan and Brynner also enjoyed themselves today and for once Brynner did not try and help with the pruning…


However both boys were very disappointed when I went in for my dinner and did not invite them..

Everybody say AHHHH…. Hope it was a good day for you as well………

Paul it was brilliant being able to stay outside all day, I really enjoyed myself, I`m always pulling those daisies out as they would soon take over, they are allowed in certain places though, always leave a terrible smell on ones hands..

We have to make the most of our sunny days Drc, might not get another one for a while, I haven`t seen the forecast but hoping it stays good..

Lovely blog. It's great to get out in the sunshine and get the jobs done in the garden instead of just looking through the window at the rain!!

Is Brynner lifting the latch there ? Lol

Pimpernel he hasn`t yet worked it out which is amazing as he opens all the doors inside, we lock the kitchen door sometimes just to make him stay outside for a while, he seems to be under the impression that a dog should only be outside if the mistress is with him, lol....

Some lovely flowers there. The hydrangea is a pretty shade and I like the berberis - haven't seen that one before. What a lot of hard work - great that your daughter made the meal - you must have been ready for it!

You have worked hard but you obviously love it and it looks great. I'm the same when I'm in the garden; eating gets forgotten. Your two boys are absolutely gorgeous.
