Awful weather - typical Brits talk

wort

Dusty I forgot to say , yes it’s Thumbergia , they had yellow and orange, my friend liked the orange, I would have liked pink 😁

London pride is a favourite of the lady I watch on insta, I hope it isn’t to provide the vine weevil with lunch 🥹

I may return to dd2 s after lunch ,as she’s bought some strawberries and put them in the greenhouse! I’ve told her to plant them out now but I can see crispy straw like strawberries in their future.

I’ve said I will get cuttings of the nepeta for dsil , and I want a cutting from niece’s honeysuckle.

Have you got rain up your way Wort? No chance of cuttings here it's just dust or concrete. Even the Lemon Verbena (American South) or tomatoes (South America) are failing to thrive.

Lantana reminds me of Australia Dusty. So that should be a good bet.

Nothing like the cyclamen Farway. I used to have them all round the garden door. Bloom Spring and autumn with no care. Value plants 😃

Been cleaning windows and soffits. Now it's got hot. Now I have to rest but it's nice to have a clean house front for the moment Just trying to catch up with 3 months of not being able to do stuff. There's still nothing to do in the garden but water and feed till it's time time to cut back. I won't say it's pointless but it is sad with no fruit and struggling veg . Perhaps the next job should be sharpening things ready for cutting grass if we get some at the end of season.

Again big clouds all round but not here. Blue skies and sunshine. Nice for the holiday makers.
