Morning!

We love it all .

I emptied some pots too today @AnneKipankitoo 😭

Great work @Robin233 👍🏼 What a lovely Snapdragon too.

They lasted a lot longer than normal so I was pleased.

Ok, Ladies...all not lost!
@Robin233, you've been quite busy...and your mauve planters are coming along nicely.

Aww @AnneKipankitoo sorry to hear your
Pots and troughs have been emptied yours too @beautyisfoundwithin...it'll be nice to see that the spring brings though...I've just rescued two Pots of zinnia from the rack of redemption so we shall see..the bees and hummingbirds are enjoying them...also some colourful pink and white vincas....photos to follow

My clematis is flowering .

The spent flowerhead looks dramatic too!

@AnneKipankitoo
Oh wow
That's awesome!

@Sweetpea1532
Well spotted lol
Was a good weekend- even finished the conifer hedge cut, though dh will have to do the top.

Thanks @Robin233
No idea what it is ( type ) . We had it for years and it flowered for the first time last year .

Sounds like it has been weekend in the garden ladies.

Have finally got around to digging up the straggly sweet peas and have now planted in the daffodils/ narcissus will wait till November to put in the tulips.

These are some late flowering nasturtiums that are still going strong...

@applecatchers36
Oh well done !
I love nasturtium.
One year I put a load in the garden boarder as an experiment

They went berserk lol
Next year I'm going to put some nasturtium seeds in with my plants in the hanging baskets - see what happens.

@AnneKipankitoo

Beautiful clematis and awesome alien 👽 sprouting specimen

😂 SP

I love "rack of redemption" @Sweetpea1532! Much more optimistic than "shelf of doom"! I look forward to the photos.

Very impressive @AnneKipankitoo!

Those Nasturtiums are looking good @applecatchers36, sounds like you had a productive weekend too 👍🏼

We've got cold weather coming in according to the forecast so I snipped some of my flowers that were still looking pretty good and popped them in a vase. Figured I may as well, so I can enjoy them indoors instead of letting the bad weather ruin them.

What a beautiful posy Beauty lovely pinks!

@beautyisfoundwithin
I can just imagine the glorious fragrance coming from your pink bouquet 💐 ...you're quite talented in flower arranging!

Our hummingbirds have discovered the zinnia ...it's been fun watching them buzz about investigating the new garden additions...the sun has been so hot that I've had to relocate the vinca to a shady area 😳

Gorgeous arrangement @beautyisfoundwithin.

I know this is a bit derailing of @AnneKipankitoo s thread..... I'm so sad to report we've had a massive oil spill off our coast resulting in bird, sea mammal, plantlife endangerment and also human life...😭😭😭😢😥
All the more reason our colourful gardening is important to bring some beauty to the world..

That is so sad SP . I did see it in the news and wondered if it was close to you .

Thanks @AnneKipankitoo,

It has now reached SanDiego..so from Los Angeles to the Mexico border....they think that a huge container ship had dropped anchor to wait out the backlog at the docks, then forgot to pull it back up..🐳🐋🐬🦭🐠🐡🐙🐟🦈😭

Those darn squirrels! Here is what they did to my DHs beautiful healthy Canary Island Palm tree😡
It had just started to get full.and was about 2 metres tall and 2 metres wide...they ate straight through the trunk horizontally and left a hole like someone had shot a missile clean through it causing all the fronds to fall off 😭

Wow 😮!

Oh no @Sweetpea1532
I thought I had problems with squirrel 🐿 when they would try and bury their nuts in my planters - leaving compost everywhere- they've stopped now.
But your poor tree .
Will it live?

Sad news SP for the coast from the oil slick and for you from the squirrel 🐿️ destroying your tree 😡 I thought I had problems with them digging up bulbs but that hole is pretty huge 😲

I told you it is the best restaurant in town ! 😂

@Sweetpea1532

Thanks *@AnneKipankitoo*, It has now reached SanDiego..so from Los Angeles to the Mexico border....they think that a huge container ship had dropped anchor to wait out the backlog at the docks, then forgot to pull it back up..🐳🐋🐬🦭🐠🐡🐙🐟🦈😭

How the hell do you forget to pull it back up?? I sometimes forget to take my handbrake off at lights and I instantly know!! Heart-breaking for all the wild life.
