@BadlydoneHelen So pretty!!

Thanks for starting this thread @AnneKipanki So many beautiful photographs shared ❤️

@AnneKipanki is it the Solomon's Seal that gets attacked by sawfly? 🙈. I didn't realise and have waited so long to find one ☹️

AnneKipanki · 24/07/2020 19:49

Yes , @AlwaysOnAbloodyDiet . I have the trough with impatiens again. However, I found it difficult getting them and only managed to get some from Tesco.
They look a bit sparse at the moment.
Once they look better I will take a picture.
Regarding the sawfly @catwithflowers , I was not spraying them . That helps . Also picking the larvae off helps.

Oh dear oh dear I went to a garden centre today and had to do a lot of rearranging when I got home!

AnneKipanki · 24/07/2020 19:52

@catwithflowers , the thread was originally @AlwaysOnAbloodyDiet's idea .
I think it was quite a few years before the sawfly became really troublesome. I had not realised what they were.

Bee your mini meadow looks great !!
Cat that's a fab discovery!! I'm itching to visit our local garden centre but I need to find some space in the garden first haha the colour of that rose !! I have rose envy for sure !!
Raptor the view from your patio looks very relaxing and your garden looks inviting.

@AlwaysOnAbloodyDiet Thank you for the lovely thread and to everyone for posting their lovely photographs on this thread. It's so restful and inspiring, especially at the moment in a world of so much worry and stress ❤️

@AnneKipanki Thank you for the correction 😘🤣

Beebumble, that drift is gorgeous. That's the look I'd like to achieve eventually..

Just some marigolds snapped during my nocturnal slug hunt. They really shine in the darkness!

A new poppy flower this morning, bought from the shelf of doom a few weeks ago as a few sticks.

Bee, that mini meadow really is lovely. None of my wildflower seeds ever seem to grow, I must be doing something very wrong

This is a glorious thread. Just so very enjoyable. Today I have an unnamed climbing rose that is just coming into flower

It's beautiful, and not sparse at all Smile

AnneKipanki · 25/07/2020 14:44

Thanks @AlwaysOnAbloodyDiet . The colours are a bit on the cold side .
I tried to get impatiens at the garden centre and online but had no luck .

I love your marigolds DDemelza I bought a single colour which I regret after seeing glimpses of bright containers in people’s gardens.

And I admire a shelf of doom resurrection.

My picture today is my sweet peas harvested as a gift for my mum.

Lovely sweetpeas, ours are doing well this year too. I was given a free overgrown pot of yellowing seedlings from the reopened local garden centre. Having nowhere to put them I bunged some chickenwire up the north side of the shed, cleared a bit of lawn away and crossed myfingers. I am getting a decent bunch every day.

Some much needed rain at last. Ventured out to see how the roses faired, pretty ok thank goodness.

cat I think your rose is supposed to have a great fragrance, I quite fancy that one as I do Always' Tranquility. And then Badly offers another beautiful rose.
Phineas I only recognised the dahlia the other 2 flowers are new to me and lovely.
I agree a succesful planting there Bee
Anne I like your cheery bright pots very much and I'm positively jealous of the trough. Impatiens get the lurg here.

Wow, lots to catch up on!

Gorgeous pot @AnneKipanki, ditto to the trough and the Begonias! Lots of colour!

What a well rescued Poppy @popgoesperfection! So bright!

Beautiful Sweet Peas @ThursdayLastWeek 😍 Such big blooms you've got! I bet your mum was very pleased!

I remember your freebie @Noflora, glad they're doing so well! Lovely Roses too.

Stuff often just jumps into my trolley too @Mamia15! Pesky flowers! 😆 They look lovely.

beautyisfoundwithin · 25/07/2020 19:24

Adding some colour of my own 😊

Wow @beautyisfoundwithin. Look at that sunflower !! Gorgeous !! I eagerly check mine every morning waiting for that big beautiful flower!!
@AnneKipanki I really like that trough! I have one under the front window every year and I ALWAYS forget to water it 🙈 I'm doing good this time so far haha
These are some flowers on one of the shrubs in the garden. Not sure what it is called though.
