Had a very good few weeks, lots of interest. Ive picked up a few cheap perennials in the hope they will put on some good growth for next year.
Alstromeria - an almost white one ( I dont like the yellow throats) some of the colourings don't go with what I already grow. Ive also got a variegated leaf variety.
Nepeta, I already grow this and its easy from cuttings - but I wanted a pale pink.
Lots of campanula - I really love these plants even though Im not a purple fan. I have a few varieties, white and purple- large pots for £2.50 each in a nursery clear out....was a winner as I cut the stems for bunches and still had the plants!
Rain has been an issue - but we have had some the last few days.
Dahlias are just starting. I have been feeding
with a high nitrogen feed, as lots were just cutting's. I need to switch soon. Maybe make my own??
The zinnias are just starting - really please with some of these
Ive bought more nets for the long beds - makes a huge difference - unfortunately I bit the bullets a bit late and Its too late to get them in place.
A couple of large bunches showing what Im growing at the moment
