Saturday Snippets!

 

There’s always something to do in the garden but it’s important to also take a break now and again and here’s a peaceful place,(above) for a welcome rest! 

Meanwhile, everything is looking good in our garden in spite of the lack of rain…but that is somewhat worrying. A good downpour of rain is very badly needed. 

Sweet Peas always need a ton of water; they are very thirsty plants.

    My Sweet Peas have just started flowering…

Comfrey is a wonderful addition to the garden and the bees absolutely love it. I’m growing more from seed…you can’t have enough Comfrey!

There is certainly a busy feel to the garden, right now, and I’m enjoying this lovely place!

This gorgeous patch of Lysimachia ( or Yellow Loosestrife) shouts out ‘sunshine’ …and sunshine is really all we know in my part of the country at the moment! Sunny Devon! ☀️ 

I bought this Geranium three weeks ago. It was in a 9cm pot and quite small but now it’s really come on very nicely and is flowering. This one is ‘Rozanne’.

Nasturtiums are a real favourite with me; I simply poke them into pots and let them do their own thing throughout the summer months. ‘Empress of India’ is doing very nicely!

One plant that did take me by surprise, recently, was this Clematis, above. I believe that it might be a variety of Clematis integrifolia. It’s not one that I’ve come across before but the pale purple flowers, that hang like bells, are delightful.

Last year, I grew some tiny sedum cuttings and these are now very much at home in a clay pot.

All is good in the garden…and long may it continue to be so! 😁
