Summer Residence

Finally got our collection of cacti into our flyaway greenhouse, here hopefully they will stay and be well watered and fed. The lace cactus 2nd from right front row has already flowered in the house, I feel that when a cactus flowers then it is happy with its lot, so come on you others!

Little bit of Alpine magic

Yeah these are our alpines which are going strong now, they have been in this pot for 2-3 years now and have put on this nice show of flowers today for the camera. The species on show include Fairy Foxglove, Pansy,Lewisia,Wooly Thyme, Potentilla and one that is missing from this photo shoot but seeded itself in a neighbouring pot was the Alpine Ragged Robin.

Glad you're Hanging around

Just a few of the baskets hanging around our estate, Petunias looking fantastic thanks to my wife (she shys away from publicity) unlike me  I'll take anything except blows, and the spring onions and strawberries (weird combination) I usually like spring onions with ice cream, are getting their act together for the second year ,growing well

Fly away

We've been busy this morning between us we've put up a fly away walk in greenhouse that at the time of blogging was still in position, no seriously well as serious as we can be it will be an asset to our growing and I intend to keep it going for at least 3 seasons or until October.
     And now feast your eyes on our bench lovingly restored by Sue,so its al fresco from Tesco and a resting place from potting in the fly away.
