....you sound like me @tbendl ........pointless to resist isn't it

I'm going to need a plants anonymous support group if this keeps up. It's bad when you walk in and the woman at the checkout register remembers you, (weren't you here yesterday and the day before that??) LOL

@tbendl Looks great! I like the dew on the sheet too. In the Russian forum there is a game - "Learn the plant". Someone shows a picture of a small part of the plant (for example, a stamen and a piece of petal). Get fantastic pictures. We must guess what this plant is. Like your sheet.

 

[tbendl]

Ohhh that sounds like a fun game. I would stink at it though. Do you play it and provide pictures for it?

 

[Larisa]

Yes, it is interesting. Because plants are the simplest, which everyone knows. It's just an unusual photographed.

 

[tbendl]

I'll keep you in mind when I take pictures of my water lilies. I have a new one going in and the underside of the pad is gorgeous! If they come out decent I'll send them to you.

 

[Larisa]

If they come out decent I'll send them to you.

Thank you,@tbendl . Send in any case. Send in any case. I'm a fan of plants!

Morning all.

@tbendl the pond looks great. I used to have containers for ponds, but it was too much to look after.
@Upsy Daisy hope you feel better today.

Good morning all: A gloomy day, but warm. Went out to direct water to 2 dry places. Hopefully, the deluge on Monday will fill up the butts again.

Planted out Salvia Sensation rose and Caradonna yesterday and the pointed peppers x 20 plus. Love pointed peppers. Nice to have a bit of rain to give them a good send off.

Morning chatterboxes.
Rain was welcome here too but always prefer the sunshine alp

 

[alp]

Of course, you would say that, @Verdun ! You have rain all the times whilst my soil had become dusty and the bugs attacked my plants because of the heat and insufficient amount of water. I spent an hour getting the water to the driest parts. That's the problem with a west facing garden. No respite in summer in droughty Essex.

I feel so much better after watering for more than an hour. Sun is gloriously out now. I wonder if I can buy a gaura for £1 today in poundshop... They had loads of dead ones.

Let's have a game -

What do you think this is?

 

[Upsy Daisy]

Morning all.......gosh I'm feeling worn out with all this dashing about...... don't know if I'm coming or going I'm suffering from a case of Deja Vu

Hope everyone is good today and have a fun filled weekend planned.

Thanks for asking @Logan , my leg is still there, but the nausea is my main issue at the moment.......... brings back the horrid memories of morning sickness.........all day long!!!? And in such hot and muggy weather it's not a nice experience

Hope you find some good bargains @alp......you know where to post them

Sunny Saturday all.

 

[Upsy Daisy]

Oh my god @alp ......have the Martians landed in your garden!!
