My rudbeckia has really put on a good show

Only one plant

Love this yellow Tanz echinacea - my wish list is to acquire an orange one and some doubles.

Son did 4 rows of these today.

Lovely hypericum pink berries

and red berries

This dahlia is teasing me..

Love this pink colour

My favorite kind of hydrangea

Gina

This year I've managed to have more than 1 flower on a stem. Whenever I saw clumps of flowers on a strepto, I said to myself, Pull another one.. Now, I have them myself.. Bliss ..

Typhoon

Love it. another plant has loads of flowers but it shows sign of dyng..

 

[tbendl]

Ohh I like the tile color. Where is the tile going?
I am sanding this weekend and hopefully will be ready to paint next week, (if it ever stops raining). I've been neglecting my weed pulling duties so my yard is a little wild.

@tbendl That is my expensive lean-to. It cost me too much and it is only a little box with glass roof. I wish i had changed the roof as the naughty neighbours have massive glorified sheds put in and one had 4 people living at the end of the garden and they are Council tax band D, same as my pokey 3-bed room house.

I should have sanded some of the walls in the lean to and painted it before putting down the tiles, but I have painted it 3 times .. and I am just so fed up as I will use it for my plants again and condensation will wreak havoc again.. That is the cheapest tiles going. I just want to move so cheapest will do. At least, they don't show up dirt.

 

[tbendl]

I was going to say you should turn it into a she shed.. And then I saw that people can see right into it via the roof. What a stinker that is. And yeah, if the plan is to move then I agree, go cheap! You have a great son, that he is doing that for you though.

 

[Logan]

@alp lovely flowers, the tiles are alright. Your son's doing a great job. Have condensation in concervatory, have to keep drying the windows. Also in the house.

 

[tbendl]

My sunroom gets a lot of condensation during the summer after it rains. That's kind of why I am going to paint the floor versus putting tile down.

 

[alp]

The tiler who quoted me £700 plus for tiling 12 square metre said he knew there is some reflective material which will reflect 75% heat back. I don't think I'm going to bother as soon it will be winter and there will be tons of condensation in the lean to. I have tons of things to do in the whole house. I wish I had done up my garage instead as that would have added more value to the house. Now, it's too late and I'm broke!

 

[tbendl]

If I lived closer I'd come help. I've done tiling before. Instead I will just send you a virtual hug.
