    Oh nice! I like the plant and the bird pictures.

    I now have apricot tree envy 😏

    Seen on a walk and the people there weren't that interested in the fruit but didn't offer it. There were loads there.

    Interestingly it's in the same road where someone grew productive vines along the front. Must be sunny and sheltered.

    Get back to you MW. I'm off out frmy first swim 😃

    I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!

    viral kindness .....kindness is contageous pass it on

    The only normal people you know are the ones you don’t know very well

    Oh dear, I definitely didn’t see the YBE post at weekend, I think when I miss a few days due to work . The link seems to miss some posts.

    Dusty you are tormenting me now with the thalictrum, at least the nursery gave me a refund for my dead one. Not much done here apart from deadheading.

    The weather still hot and breezy no clouds insight, off for a walk with friends so will go to the plantations so it will be mostly shady. Once the washing is out.

    Focus on contribution instead of the impressiveness of consumption to see the true beauty in people.

    Wind has dropped a bit, more hot sun for rest of the week so no respite from watering

    Update on next door's sheet, it's been removed from the pyracantha 😀, never saw it go, but back to normal now

    Looks an interesting plant Mrs Dusty bought, but reading on it's not one for my garden, no where suitable

    I was watching Anna with the accent yesterday, and she also has Lezbeans, only a couple of runner bean pods to be seen, at least I'm not alone. My beans have tilted a bit with the wind, not too bad and I'm hoping to get them perpendicular once the wind / breeze eases

    Spotted the garden bin men this morning, no wonder they miss my bin, they just look at the roadside, my bin is up a path. I gave them a shout before they drove off this time and it's emptied.

    No gardening, too hot, may need to water but so far looks OK

    Just refreshed, great recovery 2P, enjoy your swim. Fancy having an apricot tree and not eating them, but folk are funny like that, including my DS who'd rather buy apples than pick the ones from his garden 😡

    This is growing on the waste bit near my garage, along with the chicory & poppy. I think i's a cornflower but happy to be corrected
