....love it @ARMANDII .......which one is you

 

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. Also spread a bit of lettuce seeds around. Wonder if the slugs will beat me to them though.

Armandii - Shame I talk more than dig or plant ...

 

Good morning folks
Sunny and warm although it was much cooler last night
Planted out cosmos earlier....a group of 5 white and a group of agastache Blue Boa
Enjoy your day :rasp:

 

Morning @alp and all others as you pop in. Hope everyone is well and ready to enjoy their weekend..

Lovely start to the day down here, full sunshine since 5am, lovely as it maybe be do so need rain, fingers crossed for Monday.

All summer bedding is now done, so that's it no more planting out , task is now taking some cuttings and preparing for seed sowing for next year, a few trays have already been done.

Have a Super Saturday everyone

 

Morning all, just been around the front garden, can't get on the grass, because of my knee, but here's some pics from around the path.

Lavender nearly out

Roses nearly out


Ordinary sage


Hardy geranium

Day lily

Poppies that spread from over the road

 

Lovely photos of your garden. Love that alstroemeria. That seems to be Inca Smile. Have you ever had seeds from them?

I have the same allium as well. Would love to get my hands on the round, ball like white ones.

The rain battered my dwarf delphinium. I might need to stake one of them.

Feeling so good after the rain.

Good morning @Verdun I'd love to find out how to keep plants alive in pots from you.

@Upsydaisy I have only take a few cuttings from my begonias which I put in water and found that it was a hopeless way of propagating. Must do some more. Just when I thought I could clear the house, more pots and trays...

 

Lovely pics @Logan.....those poppies are lovely, but boy can they travel , our garden was overflowing with them ( and ground elder!!) when we moved in.

Morning @Verdun !

@alp ...glad I'm not the only one who failed on water propagation....tried several times without success.

Yes I had just emptied my greenhouse and now it's filling up again

 

I can't even use the lean to as the sun is violently out! Haha!

 

My greenhouse is in full sunshine all day long too, can't you shade your lean to a bit , that's what I have to do . I also wet the floor too, I know you can't do that but maybe placing some containers filled with water might work too.

 

@alp thanks, no i don't keep seed from the alsroemeria. It's the only colour that is hardy.
@Upsydaisy thanks.

 

You can tell that @Upsydaisy is a very dedicated mother saint.. Haha! I have some bubble wrap on the ceiling. and some shades somewhere, but all a temporary measure.

So want to go out, but have to wait for a delivery..

Some dainty violas



My delphiniums - very pleased with them


The wonderful lilac one



Madame Julie Correvon - it's smothered with buds


Diana

And my trollius chinensis

 

Some of my newly opened pink octopus campanula










Love this hardy perennial, so different from the other campanulas
