Scene from my kitchen patio doors looking down towards hubs workshop....(tablet used so not true colours) everything looks so refreshed, albeit a tad battered.

Going to follow Monty's advice and cut backs my mad looking Lavenders today and take yet more cuttings from them too

I went to the posh nursery and saw your Agastache which didn't look half as lovely as yours. I was a bit disappointed with their display. I will keep an eye out and go out tomorrow. Today is a bucket / container hunting day!

Try freecycle or wickes for buckets and containers wickes do rubble buckets there really strong and imo good value

I don't agree, it has been dry here. It's the 2nd lot of rain for about 3 months.

Got bare patches in the lawn/ grass where it hasn't recovered. In a couple of days we'll probably be out watering again.

Oh, dear! Didn't know you had been dry for so long. Keep you in my prayers to heavens! Birmingham can't be as hot as Essex. I will still pray for you, sis!

I remember seeing a bucket for £9 but they were gone before I could say hellos! They were ones with a tap at the bottom.

Aww ! Thanks @Leeski

I love @Upsy Daisy lovely house and garden, not so much for the council tax bill though. My eyes well up just thinking of that. Will send Upsy more seeds/plants for commiseration.

Could anyone tell me what these are please? The first one i accidentally Dug up whilst weeding

Lots of rain tomorrow and some predicted tonight too in showers. I hope everyone has staked their plants, don’t end up like Alp, Upsy & I

I can see a Nemesia @Leeski in picture 2

First one is a crocosmia or gladiolus. I lean toward the first. 2nd one not too sure. I have seen them quite frequently. It's might be a snapdragon relative???

Yes, @Mark56 is right.

GOOD advice, @Mark56 !

Thanks @alp .....never say no to a bit of commiseration when it's on offer

 

[alp]

@Upsy Daisy You're welcome!

Morning @Mark56 , how are you doing at the moment?

So sad isn't it seeing a battered garden, will walk round and check things and stake .....everything in sight!!!

Create a 'cane garden' ...might start a new craze!!

Our next scheduled rainfall starts at 3am Sunday morning and could last until 7am Monday morning......better find my snorkel!!

@alp did you watch GW last night.....such a lovely garden in Wales and it had a Lilly pond too.....so idilic, you could even hear the sheep bleating!

It's a Sunny Yellow / Orange Day today!!
