Our Hosta cutting. Please excuse our lovely green (not) lawn!!! I can’t remember the name of it now hostahousey, you did give us a name a while ago. The parent plant is bigger than this one! We will have to have a serious dividing session in the Autumn. Loved the Salvias they look beautiful, we will look out for some.

Hi Heddlo,
I think your Hosta could be either
Patriot or Minuteman, both are similar.
looks good though, I usually split mine around September but this year the winds and sun have aged them , so might split a lot earlier.
another Salvia which is quite nice ,
African Blue Skies

Tomatoes finally ripening up, we've grown our usual varieties plus a very large one called Jack Hawkins (OH tasted one sold by Waitrose and tracked down a few seeds.)

On a larger scale. Isn't it great when a builder does what he says he would and gets all the hard ground work done ready for you to enjoy yourself.
1,2,3,4 show "meadow and orchard" area to left.
And below, 5 & 6 from overgrown to fenced at the rear.
Can't wait till Sept when we make the move in from Formby to Devon.

We are getting our heads around the structural plants first.
The area with the large oak tree is about 40-50m long. We are looking at sowing wild grasses and planting up to a dozen fruit trees, along with a couple of walnut trees late this year. Once we know how it looks like we'll then go in with the flower meadow plants.
Not sure about the long fence area, possibly climbing roses and wisteria.
The patio area, not shown, is calling out for a couple of multi stem Silver or Himalayan Ghost Birch.

It is crispy in most of UK at present, but we are lacking in the lovely wine you have.

Thanks to Hosta Housey's photos a nice parcel arrived here today containing a "Lemon Light" salvia. Quite difficult to obtain even though we've seen it growing in various gardens. A nice strong plant from a nursery in Staffs.

A lovely Salvia brue I have got that one struggling a bit at this dry weather although they are good plants for the present weather conditions, have got one with orange flowers but it is not doing very well at all but hope it will pick up later in the year.
Yes EM we are in the dark red Malbec wine area here although I prefer rose now friends love the local red, perhaps I should get a photo of a local vineyard to put on here.
Although it is very dry here the wild Scabious are in full flower around the field amazing with no water on them at all.

Glad to be of help brue, if you have room try the other varieties. They are all very nice plants.

Wisteria flowering again for third time. Very unusual, anyone else had this happen

I am GREEN with envy as my wisteria hardly had any flowers on at all this year and has never flowered more than once, any year. I think that it is because by neighbours elder trees have grown too much and take a lot of the llight away from it.

Looks like there'll be some very bright early autumn colours this year thanks to the summer heat. We passed a red oak recently and it was already ablaze. I took a photo of a Nandina in a garden pot, green in summer now orange and red. Just a few flowers elsewhere. Think we'll try to get to Stourhead soon as I love seeing the autumn trees. 🍂

I planted some spring bulbs, in pots, about 3 weeks ago.
Checking out the garden this morning, noticed that the muscari are coming through already 🤔.
Had to take the netting off the pot. Not sure what to do, just leave them, or top up the compost level to cover them over.
Any advice very welcome, please.
They are Muscari Valerie Finnis.
All the other bulbs I planted are behaving as normal.

Pliers, I think the leaves appear quite early, ours are all up, so all OK?!
Our pepper tree is producing results, dried a few out to see what happens The whole tree is quite spicy and the thorns are lethal we've still got it in a pot but might need to find a place for it.

Still some Autumn colour in the garden

Nice photos HostaH, our Salvia's are similar, OH usually takes some cuttings for the greenhouse.
The warm weather has pushed on the growth on our sale bargain Lidl olive tree. I decided to pick the larger olives today and put them in brine to cure them. I think this is what you're supposed to do, never thought I'd be picking olives in the UK! Interesting to see if they are OK. 🫒

London Pride as well PD👍 It’s a plant I like, you don’t see it often in folks gardens though.
Our daffs are starting to come out now, but this cold spell has made them put the brakes on. No sign of frog spawn yet, they are a bit late this year……

Didn't know what variety they were TTDL. They have been in my garden ever since I bought the house. They have moved around a bit and multiplied as I have moved soil about the garden to reshape it. Sadly the last years very hot weather and dry conditions have decimated most of my plants and new ones and some TLC will be required to revive it.
