I've had a request for pics

Rain early on meant that it was the plot rather than the lottie that got my attention today. Got loads done, tidied, consolidated, watered (where necessary) and have tried to put some names to some of the flowers. So here goes.


Chillis and Peppers

The aubs & a wee helper .... I hope

THE BUCKET RAINBOW TRIAL CARRITS !

The strawbs looked as if they could do with a haircut so I gave them one and found all these hiding !

Hestia dwarf runners

Courgettes are in abundance. They're doing much better this year mainly I think cos they're in the ground. I've only got one in a pot and even that's doing better than last year.

The tomatoes:


A Supersprout Pineapple

Gardeners Delight

Legend

A few Marmande





One of the tomatoes that got thrown in the ground late through lack of pots. Looking pretty healthy even if it is a bit behind the others.



One of the squash's not sure which one, could be an Ahmed's Bosnian.






Supersprout's JA's are reaching for the sky !





Marigolds:



The calendulas just keep on coming

This came from the last year's Naughty Marietta

batch, don't know if it's a mutant or what ?

Jolly Jester

Naughty Marietta, reliable as always

Think these are Red Marietta, please feel free to put me right if it's not.

Pelargolium leaf. Obviously not how it should look but thought it was interesting nevertheless

Absolute wall of sweet peas

One of the last lilies

Diascia Flying Colors - Appleblossom

(3rd summer plant and has really grown this year)

Passion flower, bottle brush and Spanish palm all from seed




Fuchsias:

Deep Purple

Needs a name - help please

Annabel
(my current favourite)

Rose of Denmark

The two of these together look really pretty together.

Snow White (bit disappointed with this one, but I'll give it a feed and see if it improves).

Currently called "Gavin" but need the real name.

Empress of Prussia Son of Thumb

Jack Shahan Delta's Sarah

So there we are. There's a few things that got left out, the front border for instance. The beetroot are coming on fine and the fruit bushes never got their pics taken either but are doing ok. Some red currants have ripened nicely but only about 6 in total, so if the birds get them then good luck to them.

I put the gooseberries in the ground where the onions and garlic came out of and they've put on new growth already. Doubt very much if I'll get anything this year but you never know do you ?

I transplanted the rosemary bush into another bed vacated by the garlic and that can be it's new permanent home. I'm a bit sick of tripping over pots all over the place so am trying to fill beds with permanent residents.


Thought this bee with his nose in the nasturtiums was quite cute. Doing his job like a good boy.

Hope things are going well where you are. Clear blue sky again tonight, so I hope it stays like that for tomorrow as it's the lottie's turn.

NN peeps.
