Hi folks, Haven't read back as I only got back from Devon/Somerset/Dorset holiday last night. Had a wonderful time apart from a message to say that mum had been taken into hospital following a choking attack. Needless to say in my absence my brother stepped up to the plate drove 1hr to check that mum was OK and well looked after (NOT). Consequently a 96 year old lady spent 10 hours by herself in A&E with no one to look after and/or speak for her. GRRRRRR! I should be used to it by now but it still makes me mad.
I have posted lots of piccies on the garden visit site if anyone is interested.
Garden is a bit weird this year, must be the weather, courgettes huge picking every couple of days, onions not doing very well, (I always have HUGE onions!) the best Sweet Peas I have ever grown, always understood they hate hot dry weather, most other years I got (no they did) powdery mildew, I put a few spares in a bit of "waste ground", where I chuck the free seeds from garden mag, heeled in a couple of roses, clay like a flaming brick this weather, they are also amazing. Last year Sunflower Russian Giant 12 feet, this year about 4 inches, cosmos last year up to 4 feet, same compost, same seeds (some same packet) awful this year a few are flowering, (eventually) but about 6 inches tall, whats going on!
