Can We Have A Thread Of Pictures , Free ?

[AnneKipanki]

The number 2 is nearly full . Thanks to everyone for the photos and posts . I hope we can continue.

What a lovely thread!

I'm very much of the plonk-it-in-the-ground-and-hope-it-survives school of gardening, but I do do a bit of nurturing from time to time. This year I'm very excited by my raspberries. There have been enough for everyone at home to have a handful every day!

Thank you Beebumble. I'll move them now 😱😀

What a lot of work @TwigTheWonderKid! I'd be very pleased with it too.

I hope the weather has improved for all of those who have had destructive winds.

Lovely cottage garden bed @Beebumble2, I would love something like that, but I'm not quite there yet.

Sorry to hear about your cats @Oldraver & @RaptorInaPorkPieHat. I don't have any flower pictures from today but can add two cats. They're not as beautiful as Cookie & Kit Kat but I often find our two boys all cuddled up together looking cute!

My favourite rose.
I don’t know what it’s called but I love it.

I mostly grow salad veg , tomatoes and strawberries.

Gorgeous rose Randyis it Rosa Mundi?

Speaking of roses can anyone identify this David Austin rose. We planted it when we first moved here 20 years ago and I think it’s beginning to fail. It has the most glorious smell.

Just come across this picture of last years giant sunflower. Hope this years are as pretty 🤞🏻

Such pretty gardens you all have.😍

Placemarking with my pink mallows grown from seed by DD and my new Star of India clematis.

@BestIsWest

oh thank you!
I’ve just googled Rosa MundI and yes, it definitely looks like the ones pictured online.

Border this morning, philadelphus in full flower

@AnneKipanki That's such a beautiful shrub. Ours is still a baby, just planted last year, but I'm hoping it might flower in late summer. I keep discovering things damaged by the recent winds. Some lovely lupins in a gorgeous rich purple, which were in their second flush, have been snapped off at the base. ☹️

The good news is that the wind has dropped and I have a day planned in the garden, weeding and sowing some perennial seeds for next year! Some of our greenhouse tomatoes are beginning to ripen too which is exciting!

Thanks @catwithflowers , it is my favourite.
Have a lovely day in the garden.

Aren't poppies amazing? How is it they can't hold the flower head up, yet can when it blooms? These are beautiful and are a real pop of colour in amongst everything else.

Some of my poppies together with plant eating dog. He’s a menace - I caught him nibbling poppy seed heads this morning.

I love poppies, I really should plant more...

Today's dahlia.

Gorgeous @RaptorInaPorkPieHat
Poppies are so simple yet such pretty and effective flowers.
@waltzingparrot the last photo of all your pots looks really lovely !!

Is that crocosmia in your pot @waltzingparrot ? Beautiful ..

@AnneKipanki Well I has to look up what crocosmia was, but yes that's exactly what's in there. Been in there for years and never fails.

This thread has definitely convinced me to have more Poppies next year!

Sharing some little splashes of colour from my garden today.

@waltzingparrot I love your massed pots!

I think I’ve got quite a few of the same plants but yours are in better nick than mine (eg my yellow osteospermum has stopped flowering 🤔)

Some lockdown photos from my local park

So today has been a good garden day, I had a trip to the garden centre as I desperately needed some time out of the house. While I was out the David Austin roses came, they are amazing a lot bigger than I was expecting. So I have finished my pot patio that I built at the weekend.

Such a delicate rose @ditavonteesed

I can't believe how many buds and flowers they have, such healthy plants.

@GiantKitten Half of the flowers blooming in my pots came out of one of those mixed packets of seeds for 99p!

@ditavonteesed Sorry if you've already said somewhere on the thread, but what kind of roses did you get? That one in the picture looks beautiful
