Awful weather - typical Brits talk

YoungBlueEyes

Ah no, not blight I’ll check the stems for black bits when I’ve eaten my pieces God I hope it isn’t. If I have to lose that tub I will but I don’t want to lose the lot. 

I like the combo pics Farway, are those little buds nasturtiums? 

I saw Starlink go over a few years ago, maybe 3 years ago was it? I was ages sat in my garden waiting on them, so bizarre when they appeared. Like a gappy string of jewels being pulled across the sky. I’m pleased I saw them, I like stuff like that

Any ideas? I'm feeling lazy!

What an interesting plant! My first thought was Sheep’s bit (given the time of year and the colour), but I don't think I know of anything with those leaves and that style flower. 

Can you confirm that the succulent leaves are the same plant as the compound flowers? 

I can only see what you see. My walking friend doesn't allow much time to set up photos, so I snatch what I can, when I can, or risk falling even further behind!  However, the location, Hartland Point, is one of very few homes for the Sheep’s-bit hoverfly (Eumerus sabulonum), so your ID is most probably correct. When I took the snap, my first thought was, "This is a scabious family plant."

From my limited knowledge of such wild and windy spots, I know one ground-hugging  species, like sedum, may provide enough cover for another to get a foothold.

Here's a nice easy one from a hedge half a mile inland:

Right I’ve absodefolutely got one of them growing up my back fence!

The little buds in the second pic are what I call sedums, but I think the name has changed to Hylotelephium spectabile Very accommodating, grows anywhere, will root from a leaf the drops off, broken stalk, anything green. In fact, that is where that one came from, bit dropped into a crack & found it loves it there

Great for butterflies & bees as well

Dusty, That one I do know honeysuckle, I've got a "wild" one growing down the bottom of my garden

Still raining

Still raining but here’s more pics (pre scalping). It’s not so much black bits on the stems as just black all over stems. And a tom that’s ripening wrong

On a happier note -

Sorry to see that YBE - it certainly looks like blight. 

If I were you I'd be tempted to cut out all of the black (remove the whole plant if needed to make it less likely it infects the surrounding soil) and try to ripen any sound tomatoes inside.

A bit off topic, I loved the contrast between the foal fur and the mum's glossy coat. Beyond that a couple of family portraits.

It looks like the foal sneaked out after being groomed to find a patch of mud to roll in

I thought saxifrage I have a pink variety. I have Lucifer given to me from my nieces big bunch , mine isn’t very bunch!  And my honeysuckle usually heads off wherever it feels like.
been chucking down all day, just home from work and due out for a meal, typical choose a day when I have no clue what to wear, it still feels quite warm, but might need wellies !!
