    A few snaps of my containers and baskets taken today admittedly not at there best
    I've quite a few more baskets with begonias and trailing fuschias despite being well into July!
    The Fushia bush in a pot is three years old and over-wintered in the greenhouse although it *should* be hardy. The baskets are filled with various Giant pansey, Surfina, fushia, Nemesia etc and the big pot in the garden has varieties of nemesia and diascia.

          Such a lovely lot of fresh colour. You obviously have the knack of selecting the right plant material in good proportion. It's the deadheading that takes so much time isn't it? OK on a warm summer's evening - a favourite job along with watering.BUT,this summer has been a nightmare. Maybe August will bring on the warmth.
          Well done Robajobs - thank you for your piccies,
          Jenny

                  Hi Jenny, I thought I'd selected the right plants but the Brachycome I grew in the blue basket should have been a dark blue variety but are sky blue!
                  The scaevola 'new wonder' has grown well but refuses to flower, I guess until it gets warmer. We can't have much longer before we get some sun surely!
