RECENT PICTURES FROM MY GARDEN

These malvas are perennials , I’ve had them for several years and they bloom a long time.

This one is called ; calibrachoa Trixi, an annual, it is the first time I have this plant and so far it is blooming really well. They are also called mini petunia’s, this one is a half-double.

One of my many succulents in a pot in my garden, the ones in my garden are all winterhardy.

These succulents in a pot are hens and chicks (or sempervivum), as you all know. I showed it in my SILENT SUNDAY blog, I love to decorate my succulents in a pot.

Habe a great week !!

I love succulents, but many of you already know that. I found one I didn’t have yet, it is a lot bigger than most of my other succulents. I keep them in a pot in the garden as they don’t like rain and cold in Winter so they overwinter in the greenhouse, however they survive in Winter outside but then they stuggle to get back to normal in Spring. This is the one with the biggest rosettes at the moment.

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND !!

WHAT SEASON ARE WE IN ??

It is the beginning of August and for us it is the middle of Summer but the heath and drought have ruined a lot of plants so now it looks like Autumn.

It is the second year in a row, I think we should start looking for plants that tolerate more heath and more drought.

I took this picture 2 days ago and now this tree is almost bare, all the yellow leafs have gone with the wind.

My gernaniums look all death, luckily I know they’ll come back when we have had a lot of rain and lower temperatures.

Even the hen’s and chicks are burned !!!! I have put most of my plants in pots in the shade but as we may not use the waterhose cos of the drought, I have to water them by hand, a huge job.

Have a great weekend all !
