Well done to the gardeners, I’m so impressed, even have a prize winner amongst us, how good is that

Alan, I think I might have to come and live in your garden, it’s fabulous, you do well to keep it so well maintained the veg is a good idea, nothing like home grown

[ALAMO2008]

Don't remember planting this



Foxgloves still growing this late



Loads of flowers on this

Looking good Alan.
Don't know how anyone else feels but I find that my garden is the thing that keeps me feeling positive these days. Stuff we've planted out throughout spring and summer will grow and flourish giving us something to look forward to because Mother Nature doesn't do lockdown!

[Patricia]

Have found my knitting pretty much keeps me sane and I love it when the weather permits to be able to sit outside on the Patio and also get some fresh air at the same time and also watch the antics of the Humming Birds although it is time for them to depart now for Mexico!!!!

[bjones]

ERNIE let's have another look at your spuds... or have you eaten them all?

Last of the rambling roses called Ethel Austen.

These Plants love the Autumn

[Patricia]

The Pictures on this Link are an absolute treat to look at, obviously a lot of "Green Thumbs" here on the Forum. Thought I would show you a couple of my sister-in-law's garden in Kent. She is an avid gardener and the results are certainly a credit to her hard work!!!

[ALAMO2008]

Lots of Colour there !

[Elaine Goulding]

Absolutely gorgeous Patricia. Your sister-in-law must spend hours keeping the garden so tidy.

[Silver-Haired-Hippy]

Beautiful gardens Alamo and Patricia!

Loretta

[Patricia]

Thanks Elaine, Loretta & Alan., I will be sure to pass your nice comments along to her. Her hobby has always been gardening she just loves to be out there amongst her flowers!! She has told me that people passing by have taken photos of same!! Afraid it is just too hot here in the summer for flowers to do that well but the weather over there is perfect for them! "Green, Green Grass of Home!!!"

Smashing photos of beautiful gardens, all lots of hard work. Thank you for sharing./

Very slow growing acer......

[Glenys]

Fuschia still flowering.

[bjones]

Love that white fuschia Glenys. My pink ones are still flowering but looking bedraggled with the rain this morning.
My neria has been out for a couple of weeks now but is looking a bit battered this morning but the “Friendship” rose I got for my birthday is coming again.

[ALAMO2008]

The Fuschia with the Tiny White Flowers is called Hawkshead

We have 6 throughout the garden they love this time of the year.

[Glenys]

Thanks for that, I had forgotten........................our favourite place in Cumbria.

[bjones]

That was my immediate thought when I read Alan's post Glen.

Foxgloves in November !

Lupins in November!

Good afternoon to all you Percy and Priscilla Throwers.. anything to report from your plots so far this year?

[Bonesy]

Hi bee, good to see you posting.
Me and Mrs Percy Thrower are gearing up to the coming season.
We certainly learned from last year. We planted far to many tomatoes and in the end couldn't give them away. We also learned to only plant what you enjoy to eat.
We have one solitary parsley plant that survived the winter.

Happy growing peeps.


Keith

[Bonesy]

All planted up and ready to go.
Every single plant has been grown from seed in our conservatory.






Keith

[Silver-Haired-Hippy]

Looking good Keith! what have you planted? The only thing I am growing from seed are mini sunflowers in a pot! any ideas anybody when I should put them outdoors once they sprout? ( I am no gardener!) Oh, and two already growing geraniums, plus just bought a mountain ash even though my soil is mainly clay, always wanted one!

Loretta

[Bonesy]

Thanks Lorretta.
At the back four squares we have runner beans and broccoli in each outside square.
Then we have Chard x 2, Mangetout and leeks.
Next are dounut turnip, grow again lettuce , little gems, beetroot and radish.
Front row, chives, parsley, marjamin, radish.
In the background I've just finished laying a base of paving flags for a summer house, commonly known as a man cave or a shed with windows

Keith.

[bjones]

Great stuff Keith and also excellent advice in an earlier thread when you mentioned only growing what you like and need.
Just be careful cutting the grass around that bed.... last year most of my lettuce were full of grass cuttings thanks to Harry's overenthusiastic strimming

[Silver-Haired-Hippy]

How are all our garden growers getting on with their plants, flowers and like Keith, growing veg? a great weeding day in this glorious sunny day for me today!!! My how they have grown!!

Loretta

[Glenys]

Thankfully not had heavy rain for a few days; put alliums in greenhouse when it was blowing.

[Patricia]

My Arbour in full bloom!! I'm responsible for the Wisteria & Roses, but have no idea where the Honeysuckle came from,
(Birds perhaps?) the perfume is absolutely lovely right now.

[miv donelan]

All of your gardens look lovely, full of colourful healthy plants. Summer really makes me feel more optimistic. Watching the flowers grow, and the birds nesting beats listenening to rain beating on the windows . Patricia, your Arbour looks beautiful and the smell of honeysuckle is a bonus. My garden is overrun with Iris, I had a lot last year after the daffs and tulips finished, but I think the iris bulbs have trebled. My lilies are a bit behind, although there are a lot of flowers they're not as big as normal. Like me they prefer to be warm and dry. Can't show you because like Loretta, I can't post pictures.
