New paintings and regular art updates.
Is growing, there are tomatoes although the plants are wilting. This was my birthday present to myself. I’m glad the neighbours have put up a fence, it shelters the yard from the sun.
Some plants still need sorting out. Hopefully soon with help front friends. X
This was planted up just a month ago. There are old plants mixed in….
Internet fixed so thought I’d post a picture of the back yard. Thanks to my sister for collecting the baskets and hanging them for me. I have filled a few pots for the wall but the understory on the ground is overgrown with perennial geraniums and Welsh poppies. I’m trying to build up a bit of colour. I have a mad variegated hosta and some lilies that hubby planted last year. Memory is a funny thing.
I like petunias, so bright
Shine in the light
Bedding plant winner,
Trailing around the pots
Hanging from baskets
Tough as old boots
I love this gem
Of colour on a stem!
Yes they are still surviving. Plants and flowers that would normally have shrivelled away by now, a series of frosts due this week might do that, but the plucky baskets (OK they are not thinking or animated) have hung on together with the plants around the yard. I guess there must be a microclimate. I will let them stay where they are until its time to get them refilled again in spring next year…
There are various plants in the photos, including nasturtium, fushua, begonia, aster, pelargonium and many more.
