Good morning, the much needed rain came, the air is much fresher, it's windy but hope to get the last of the wisteria pruning done
It wraps itself around the corner at the front of the house, can't believe the new growth and several new pannicles of flower since last pruned a few weeks ago.
Your garden is looking good Marion I hope the rain hasn't done any damage.
Brought in 20 ripe tomatoes from the drive where eight of the pots had toppled over in the storm last night as had a huge pot of sweet peas but no damage done as all securely tied to their bamboo stakes. The worst thing was my basket chair which I had forgotten to bring in so now have soaked cushions to dry out. But forecast is dry and warm for today so it should dry out.
My eye was caught by the spread of the deep pink hydrangea which set off the pelargonians, green fern and cotoneaster against the white of the wall, or was it the lovely yellow dalhia (pom pom?) and sweet peas with such lush foliage and deep colour. Absolutely beautiful

Bizzie B that's a lovely photo
Thank you flumpy1
it was really restful sitting in the half dark after the hot day with a nightcap - hot chocolate 
I like your gazanias, beautiful colours. I remember you said you were going to plant them. I think they need full sun dont they?
Time to close the doors against the midges. 'Night
I saw the Oranges and Lemons rose at Hever Castle, gorgeous, and OH really liked it, but they had sold out.

Fourth photo down, see an acid green plant but cant make out what it is, looks good with the reds.
