Let's all share a laugh together.....not only is it a brilliant start to the day...but it's one of only a few things left in life that's free

If we are not after material trappings, we can be very contented very easily. That's me any way. I can't breathe here. My honeymoon is over! I'm off now. Love your tree peony photo and there is nothing wrong with your camera!

Come in for lunch after 2 solid hours of weeding the front lawn.

Took some photos yesterday when out shopping. Some funky and different petunias.

Pretty striking

I don't think I will buy the following, but we do know it has some followers.

A lot of people bought these

Polygala myrtifolia

My own plants - could be silver fall

My Scilla Peruvian

I'm pretty sure these are allium giganteum which self seeded themselves.

Striking colours @alp, did you go to a GC?
Love your a Silver Fall.

 

[Logan]

Bold colours, Alp.

@alp , just tried googling ' Silver Fall' plant, but can't find anything resembling yours, has it got another name?
Thanks

Hi @Logan , had a good day?

 

[Logan]

Hi Daisy, yes thanks. Started to move around a bit better now. I've done a bit of washing up and made some tea. Nearly 3 weeks, got 3 more to go. Your pic is very good, for the pic of the month. I've got another pic, but of berry.

I thought I had one when he was smaller. He's so big that he's nearly falling off.
Have you had a good day?

 

[alp]

Thank you all. I try to avoid garden centre such as Wyevale as the prices would be too much for me. When their stuff is reduced, that is the right price.

Dichondra Silver Falls is what it says on the packet, and as you can see, it's nowhere near that! When we went to Montifont, I loved one of these draping plants which had round leaves. I would love to grow those.

That's a lovely photo, Logan. Had 2 and 1/2 hours of sieving the dirt. I think I need a month to clear that mess.

 

[Logan]

Thanks Alp. That sieving keeps you busy. I've got a lot more of pics of the boys.

Lovely pic @Logan, Berry certainly knows how to bag a hot spot

 

[Logan]

Thanks Daisy.

@Upsy Daisy and @Upsy Daisy I feel like lying next to him. It's very cold in Essex. The crazy sun never made an appearance until 6pm and when I went out, I had to shield my face with my shopping bag against the cold wind.. What's wrong with the weather?
