  • Have just shared tart tatin with neighbour. Had to cook it for much longer than the recipe and also  finish it off again, after turning it out, to get that treacly touch. But we enjoyed it. Will make some tweaks for the Show.

    Re agapanthus the experts are divided over whether to keep them crowded or not. My views are changing. My large pots with 7 plants in each, which are now 7-8 years old are flowering less this year. Have they become too crowded?

    OOps I fed my Mum's agapanthus with tomato food a few weeks back, but it is now flowering, it is also pot bound.

    Good luck Woody.

    Had a busy day not all of it's been in the garden. This afternoon the wind was quite strong & chilly, even GH window closed.

    Going to chill and read my book, see you all tomorrow. Have a good evening all image

    Evening allimage.  Just in from mines, and pilates.  Need to start work at 7.30 tomorrow - which means a 5.30am start, so will say my good mornings now too, as i won't have time for a morning browse.

    Anna is such a pretty nameimage Tomato Tarte Tatin with treacly bits sounds like a winner to meimage Love agapanthus too.  I keep all mine in ordinary plastic pots so i can bring them into the dry in winter - so instead of planting things in with them I mix them up with my other pots.  Most of mine are really dark blue (nearly all called midnight-something-or-other), apart from 2 new ones specially for my niece called Megans Mauveimage  Only just starting to flower, and will still be there at end of August.  I feed mine tomato food - maybe thats wrongimage

    Morning chickyimage  That's a very early start.

    Was going for a very early night but saw nut's blackbird nestlings and couldn't resist joining inimage.  I had an outpatient appointment today and had sedation so am very tired but think everything went well.

    I have aa new agapanthus too and am wondering whether to sink it into the border in a pot so that I can move it for the winter.  Lots going on today  -  Dove flycatchingimage,  WW's practice bakingimage, OL car hunting and Bekkie at the bicccies againimage
