Fed up of all the doom and gloom, I’ve picked myself a bunch of flowers from the garden - between phase 1 and phase 2 of the summer, so my last rose of the main season, and my first dahlias. Cheer us all up and show us your pickings today!
Sweet peas - I was going to ditch them since they’ve gone so straggly, not to mention white mildew that doesn’t respond to spray, and so many brown leaves. But they’re still producing a lot of flowers, so there’s been a stay of execution.
I have a friend coming round tomorrow at 11 to help me repot some of my plants, I think she is a little more knowledgeable than me which wouldn’t be hard!!I have just bought multipurpose compost do I have to get special compost for different plants? I am repotting 2 corderlines tomorrow and I think they will be okay in ordinary compost… And I do have some general plant food…. Smaller corderlinesis at the back of the garden by the small fence I’m going to report them into quite big pots… Not a very clear photo I know but you get the general idea and I have been out scrubbing those slates today..????
Our red rose bush is still going strong
I love cosmos Shirley48, your dark red ones are beautiful. Here’s my flowers picked this morning, a few cosmos included. I seem to have a surfeit of verbena and bright orange dahlias at the moment.
My first of the sunflowers picked for the house. Sunrich Lime, it’s a beauty but I’ve had to do a lot of watering to keep them going.
Lovely sunflower, Abitbarmy - one of ours had snapped off, so just brought it in, with a few other scraps
