A Sad Reflection…
It was lovely to see all those entries from the ‘Six on Saturday’ gardeners when I logged into my blog yesterday morning. Such a wonderful assortment of lovely flowers! I don’t have a clue what’s happening in my own garden at the moment, being confined to barracks, so to speak. All I get to see…

Six on Saturday… #Flowers & Seedlings
Our contribution this week for Jim’s Six on Saturday, http://www.gardenruminations.co.uk This week’s first flower, well almost, is my mystery plant, the Sea Holly. Disappointingly, it looks nothing like the image I fell in love with. Hopefully, it will in time. It is four feet high already… These were a late decision, as I hadn’t planned…

This week there were no new flowers to be seen in our garden, but everything was happening in the growing area. Mainly dahlias because I have been meaning to grow these for ages, and three of the ones I planted in April are getting on with the business in spectacular form. I tried to be…

Collage was created at PicMonkey.com For some reason, I thought I couldn’t take part in this week’s #Six on Saturday because flowers are hard to find in our garden just now. There are some interesting flower buds to look forward to, but nothing worth photographing. Then I realised that I didn’t need flowers, as it…
