WHAT'S LOOKING GOOD IN SEPTEMBER 2020

@pete @Perki

Crinum Lilies Just Won’t Die

 

i am sure I've seen them grown as a marginal plant as well . Think it may of been on one of the carol klien garden series

 

Well, to be honest the new camera is showing the Ipomoea in its true colours, it always came out a sad looking pinky blue, its not hardy but I grow it from cuttings not sure you can get seeds.

Crinum been outside probably 20yrs, but does attract snails in wet years.

 

Still looking good

White Japanese anemones

 

Now I have more plants in blossom.
My clematis Piilu started flowering quite of a sudden with a lot of buds.
More rose buds have just opened

And my dwarf peach tree have the only peach almost ready to collect

 

The Alstromeria has suddenly exploded with new blooms...never seen it look this good before :

 

I love james grieve apples!
They are a real all rounder.
Good eaters but also very nice in pies and crumble.
We've found that they hold their shape in cooking but don't need half the sugar that bramleys do.

 

You've got a lovely crop there Woo. I don't know them. Are they crisp?

 

I love Jonagold can get them here at our most expensive privately owned grocery store (we have three now). Here is a simple Compote recipe you can use with your apples.

@wiseowl Há uma boa sopa de couve-flor / brócolis lá também. Você tem uma noite tranquila.

 

I feel a daft question coming on, how do you puree the fruit?
And where can I buy some hairy string?

But seriously, I get lots of apples and I never really use them, a few jars of something would be good.
Do you just boil the apples up until they go mushy?
