Hazel, if there were no leaves on your fritillary I'd guess the beetle had already produced its nasty slimy offspring... I don't know where they pupate, but it might be in the soil under your fritillary.
Well well WELL! Wonders will never cease. Got an email this morning from Sheena at Harrod Horticultural. When I was at Chelsea I entered a prize draw at the Harrod Horticultural stall, and guess what? I've won a set of 3 "trumpet plant supports", retailing at £132.30!!!! (Forgive my enthusiasm but I've never won anything in my life before... )
It's hot Hot HOT. Waiting for it to cool down a bit before watering the wilting veg.
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Quick pop in to say hello, been gardening all day and feel a bit better about it all, a friend dropped by and said I was fretting over nothing but now I am worried no-one will come. What I am I like?
Villaverde, I hope your Open Day goes well too.
Lizzie looking forward to Saturday, I do hope these storms go away, although it's been that hot today the garden needs a water, just a gentle bit overnight will be fine - please.
Right must crack on, roses to deadhead and feed and I really ought to look at the i*****g.
Good evening all.

My son entered a competition in the boulangerie the other day for a Renault Clio, every morning he asks if they have delivered it yet? Don't want to dishearten him and say how many other entries there might be, after all someone has to win it, why not him? Now, really must put the laptop away.

Been warm today, could have worn a summer dress, but I've been wearing gardening jeans.
The electrician came and found a burnt phone wire, so he won't need to replace the lot, he's replaced that bit of wire and there will be some other bits and pieces eg sockets to change. The kitchen phone works
Have finished planting my pots.

Thunder over here in the west too Bushman and patches of dark sky. We do need some rain but not too much
Bad storms in Australia Pat. Hope you're well out of the way.
Far too hot to garden, but a lovely day for sitting and looking.

Congrats Liri, Harrods stuff is lovely but expensive so I'm sure you will be pleased with them.
Hi RB thanks for asking about grandaughter she is fine, just waiting to hear when she has to have the second op for removing the wires.
A lovely surprise Lily
Fairy, we've had 6 drops of rain after the thunder!!
Ooh, congratulations Liri, fantastic.
