I didn’t expect to find anything still standing after all the torrential rain we have been having lately.
I was pleasantly surprised to find no casualties, although one of the tomato plants was leaning precariously!
The yellow tomatoes are doing well. Sowing the seeds late doesn’t seem to have mattered much. All we need now is some sun for them to ripen.
I am not a very good gardener, as I don’t know all the names of the things I grow. Those clovers, for example. The large-leafed one is some kind of Oxalis, but no idea about the dark-leaved one! It kinda fell into my basket because I loved the colour.
The Love in a Mist I planted have gone over, leaving all those seed pods. Hopefully, there will be a lot of them next year.
I don’t remember planting that petunia, so wherever he came from, he’s most welcome!
The yellow flowering bonsai has been my sister’s pride and joy for years. I used to know its name!
The next few days are going to be the summer we haven’t had, so there should be opportunities for catching up on everything that has been neglected. I have treated myself to a cordless strimmer, to help with all the overgrowth at the bottom of the garden. Affectionately called the Jungle!
The days of bending double or kneeling down are sadly over, I must find easier ways of doing everything, in the house and garden…
Hoping you get some good weather where you are!
