Morning!
Grey and cloudy here with a bit of a breeze blowing but it is trying it's best to brighten up.
Hopefully I will have the whole day in the garden and greenhouse today as it's the only day this week we have the day free from commitments.

Thanks for the link @alp very useful

When you read about such awful weather situations around the world it truly makes you grateful our ours doesn't it

Have a good day

What keeps you so busy this week, Upsy?

Hi @alp , yes tomorrow is looking good for the garden...fingers crossed.

I think @Leeski is having too much fun with the footballers!

Dad, friends and we both have Dr appointments want to maybe go to Mottisfont at some point again...seeds

RHS Wisley continues
​

Clematis Group II Angel

Smothered with flowers

White Penstemon which I haven't got!

Beautiful phyllostachys aureosulcata spectabilis Striking yellow with green stripe down the stem. So want to have one of these!

This corner really excited me - Saw some old and sulking friends

Otta Thrill - Mine is nowhere to be seen!

I have one very similar but a deeper dark red ..

This is magical - like a chrysanethemum!

Big and bold

The ones below looked like mine!

Zenj 's Honka gives them a run for their money!

Fragile! The name of this Honka

Above Blue Bayou!

A collarette or a Dandy! So many names - now where is my Teesbrooke Audry - cry me a river!

Brightens a grey morning @alp. Dazzling colours, fabulous!

Mottisfont's roses have all disappeared. Ah, I could stand under the Mulberry trees and fill up my boxes .. Yummy mulberries. Would love to have another go.

Roses may be gone but there are .....seeds!!!

Have to say I was very excited to see Otto's Thrill. I actually think I should have more big blousey flowers - where have been hiding .. sulking and suffering in silence .. because of the heat, man-made or otherwise!

I have been watering the bald patches every day .. Hopefully, mother nature will pull her weight tomorrow and shower them with love and nurture the patches .. Perhaps, I could massage some rosemary oil to stimulate the grow of "hair" on bald patches ..

Morning all a dull grey breezy morning having rained off and on most of the night .

True! Save them self-seeding everywhere ...

It's going to be a lovely day as the sun has come out! Need to set target for another estate agent! Quite fed up with it.

Please send me some! I need it for my hellebores! Life is so unfair! Think our next holiday will be to Newcastle - to see the Bridge and walk on it - and to Scotland and more of Yorkshire! Love Yorkshire. Bit scared when the car went up and down and unlike Penrith which has a gentle uphill climb, Yorkshire can be very rugged. I will go to Harlow Carr again if we go there! Lovely weather when we went there! Cumbria not so! Rained the whole useful day.

The journey to Harlow Carr was unforgettable .. Lovely and panoramic!

All is not lost, Zenj 3pm with sunshine if Met Office is to be trusted. Off to go up the ladder again. More things to filled up.
