What did you do in your garden today?

[Sean Regan]

Took a couple of branches off the right-hand side of this big rhodo, to give the one next to it a bit of breathing space. Not as drastic as it may sound as it's more balanced now. The smaller one to the right has put on a lot of growth. So I'm going to let it fight it out now with those on either side.

I'm pleased with progress of the plants in this narrow bed next to the garage,. They're all new this year. They replaced the tangled mass of the huge branches of the main part of the wisteria that died.

Sean, you should be pleased--that looks great!
I watered the tomatoes and peppers, picked some cherry tomatoes, and up-potted sweet marjoram and a basil. Husband is out watering the apple, pear, and almond trees.

Planted out the snapdragons and did a lot of watering.

Wise move with the watering, it's been overcast for most of the day but still very warm. Our York stone patio could double as a pizza oven on some days. I gave all the pots on it a water this evening and the acers a mist spray earlier in the day.

I don't mind the watering, preferable to playing golf in the rain.
So I'm O.K. for Monday and Wednesday at the moment.
Here in the Tropic of Mersey, you can't trust the BBC weather forecast for longer than three or four days, so it could still be O.K. on Friday.

Just finished planting my new plants.

No you can't, they can only predict it.

No you can't, they can only predict it.

The problem is that they can't predict the change in wind speed or direction accurately enough. A couple of places the distance of only five miles apart can be enough to mean you either get rain or it can be dry, whether they forecast one or the other.

 

[Esther Knapicius]

Rained a ton, cooled off. will pull weeds etc. pot some flowers up. happy Sunday.

I went to a local nursery yesterday and picked up Fern-leaf Bleeding Heart (Dicentra formosa 'Luxuriant'). I'll be giving this one to my grandma, though it was large enough to divide, so I took a small plant for myself.

 

[Logan]

Did my 2 hanging baskets. Got to do more watering later.
