Lovely aquilegia - mine are all pink/ White/ purple. Or were, as they're over here, so have hacked them back to ground zero. Monsoon outside, but too busy to garden anyway as faffing about getting organised for trip to London tomorrow to see The Chieftains at the Albert Hall, then Kent for the weekend, hopefully meeting sister on Sunday at Sissinghurst. When it will probably be raining...
I need to do a cull of some of my aquilegias. The ones daughter & me like/want have coloured wool tied around them, so hopefully I wont remove those!
Shows how hot a domestic compost bin doesnt get. The main lot have come from compost spread on a relatively new bed, at the time, a couple of seasons ago. Unfortunately last Autumn/this spring I wasnt able to do much thinning so now have this expanse of them, actually creating a nice, airy screen when viewed from the patio.
Mind you last spring it was Mysotis all over the same bed! J.
hi everyone.. inkadog..yes please let us know how the milk thing works.. be very intersted to try anything to rid mine of it.. hubby is very fond of his roses as they were his mums favourite so i try to keep them going.. and i have a lovely red one and yellow one.. which is very scented.. gorgeous.. thou at the moment they are taking a battering with this wind..

all my fox gloves have hit the ground as have my delphiniums.. so disappionted.. weather is so off at the moment.. we have had gusts of 65mpg today with driving rain, it as stopped raining at mo and have sun and blue skies..how long for i do not know.
all my delicateplants have lost their petals or been beaten down..
Hi every one just finished deadheading all the Petunias in all my easy fill baskets due to the rain it as not stopped for two days, so now i have put large clear plastic bags over them. To stop the flowers getting waterlogged. I cut the bottoms off the bags so that air can circulate.
Have nothing to report from my garden since the weather is so bad I'm not even going out there. I'll pick up the pieces once it's more clement if that ever happens. Weatherman reports a European monsoon heading our way. Oh joy.
