LOL. I get wet knees at this time of year, Doreen!

I have to agree about the 'my garden' bit - when the grass is cut, that's EXACTLY what I say!

Oh, and it's pouring here....no gardening today!

On blog - Rained off

 

Thanks - where have you been hiding, Eileen? lol.

On photo - Schlumbergera

 

....and by the way, Angelonia flowers are about a quarter of the size ot your antirrhinum ones! They don't seed themselves, either. :-((

Nor can you get bright scarlet ones...boo hoo!

On question - What,s this, newer pic

 

Too much information there, Bb!! YUK!!! I think I'd better send you some wet-wipes! lol.

On photo - Iceland Poppy.

 

LOL. What fun he'd have - and all the visitors when the garden's open!

 

No - I haven't missed a Sunday. It may be next week ??

New shoes? What are they? LOL.

 

It is POURING with rain here, Hywel! About time - the garden needs a good soaking! 8mm in half-an-hour - so keep going, rain!

There's a similar one I used to have - 'Masquerade'...a possibility?

On photo - Multicolor Rose

 

I LIKE full borders - I don't like bare soil. Did 'Queen Fabiola' come up?

I grow those - and I've just planted 100 more!! :-))

 

We should have bought all the stock that stand at Malvern had, Louise - I wish I'd got more there! I know you do, as well. :-((

 

Orgratis - you can buy Dahlia seeds which will flower in the first year. Of course you can also buy tubers!! Over here, you can also get Dahlias grown from tubers or seeds in pots - an expensive way of getting the flowers, but 'instant' colour!

I haven't tried digging up the ones from seeds - but I'm told that I should, then to pot them up, and let them develop tubers.

 

We'll let you off, Toto - for such a great photo! :-))

On photo - All in a flap.

 

I don't know where the shoeboxes got to - they weren't there on Sunday! I'll have ask next week.

 

Don't be sad - you can 'compose' another beautiful garden for next year! :-))

On photo - front of house

 

Oh dear, Mareli - the ones who aren't interested in plants just want to walk past them, don't they! They definitely don't 'look' at things in the same way.
Go with just gardeners next time! LOL.

 

OHHHHHH....so do I, Hywel! We were in Kent and got icicles 6' long hanging from the gutters! We were cut off by snowdrifts for at least a week. Nasty.

You know I hate snow! I've said it often enough!
