So beautiful flumpy. Big plants make a statement and that is an elegant statement.Just watched "Love your Garden" make a lovely seaside theme garden for two ladies of 91 and 86. It looked gorgeous.
Awe I missed it, I like watching that too, where was it filmed Marion?, thanks for the compliments on our plant, we bought it seven years ago, it was in a small round plant pot but these last few years it's really grown
Wiveliscombe in Somerset, flumpy , but the theme was 1950's at the seaside which must bring lots of nostalgic happy memories back to the ladies which is lovely at their age and must help the 91 year old who is almost totally blind.
Awe that's lovely I love things like that, I was trying to find the episode on my iPad last night, I'll see if I can find it on sky catch up, lots of people have put nice comments about it, my mum and dad are coming soon so catch you later, Happy gardening : )
What is up with the dozy bumble bees?. One must have fallen out of the brambles I am working amongst and dropped into my hair so when i put the brush through my hair when I came in to escape the rain it fell out on my dressing table. Looks OK now out on the lemon balm. Could it be that apple blossom shampoo?
That's funny because I was on the beach in morecombe a few years ago eating an apple, next thing a big wasp came and stung me in my neck, you was lucky it didn't sting you Marion . Ho my parents didn't turn up, it got to 11.30 and I was getting worried, apparently they got delayed with doctor and shopping, I think they need a mobile phone
It was too dozy to sting. I just picked it up and carried it out to the garden. I cannot get on with mobile phones - tried with twl old ones the children gave me but they are too fiddly for me.. I have done quite a bit of weeding despite it threatening to rain all the time - a few spots now and again. The garden needs some rain but we may get some through the night which is the best time to have it.
Odd you mentioned the bees Marion: I was wondering whether all the ones in my garden (currently attacking the lavender) were hungry? Its harvest time up here so I guess their normal food sources are disappearing. Either way we've had more than a handful of bees falling off plants and looking almost drunk. I've cut a juicy plum in half and left it in the lavender and put some sugar water in there too to give them a helping hand.
Good for you, Clarington. My visitor to my tangled hair certainly got stuck into the flowers on the lemon balm as soon as I put him there but he was in the middle of brambles which have finished flowering , in fact I am picking the berries, so you could be right.
Since a suny day is forecast for tomorrow and the cloudy conditions today are better for taking pics I have been up the garden with my camera. My neighbour has filled in three of the "windows" in his work of art wall and will be doing the remaining three next weekend.
