Welcome to a different gardening week from my Hampshire backyard. This week temperatures have risen to the mid twenties; any rain we had has lengthy gone and it’s fairly dry within the backyard as soon as extra. But there are nonetheless loads of vegetation flowering.
Photograph one is of this beautiful Fuschia which has come again into bloom after the preliminary first flush. It was a present for my husband who likes fuschias, unsure of the title, the label has gone.
The second picture is of the Himalayan Honeysuckle. I just like the pink, purples and the darkish berries that it produces. They at all times make me consider dangling ear-rings.
Third picture goes to those Penstemon, grown from seed and now dotted across the backyard.
Fourth picture is of a Corncockle (I feel) from the pack of untamed flower seeds that I’ve grown. There have been 26 varieties of untamed seed in my pack, however I don’t suppose the germination fee was superb. If it’s a Corncockle then different names for it are: cat’s eyes and kiss-me-quick, corn pink, crown of the sphere, little and fairly, poppy and Robin Hood.
Fifth picture goes to those French Marigolds, grown from saved seeds. Final autumn I gathered a number of Marigold seeds and I added them to Christmas playing cards as a ‘residing present’. They germinate actually simply and make a shiny present. I plant them within the greenhouse and among the many greens to discourage pets. Not satisfied it really works!
Lastly a Gladioli, the primary one from blended bulbs planted this yr. Actually there ought to be an entire host of summer season bulbs, but it surely seems to be like solely the glads have come by. Perhaps the dry summer season hasn’t helped?
