back from holiday, nothing has died..............Midsummer Day was characterised by some of the most atrocious weather ever seen, howling winds and horizontal rain............everything seems a bit dry here but most things have survived. the courgette which had the most anti-slug stuff on it has been eaten to extinction............not even a stump left..............and the delphinium has also disappeared. some of the Morning Glories haven't made it either but the ones on the window-sill seem OK. the slugs have also enjoyed the Livingstone daisies......maybe they'd be better at the front..........
....the purple clematis is putting on the most spectacular display ever seen, fabulous flowers which look great against the foliage of the yellow rose and the honeysuckle which is just emerging. the honeysuckle at the front is also flowering, much to my surprise, huge yellow flowers.................
..........at least one tadpole still alive, and the funny larva thing with the long tail...........Rosa Incognita from Hopetoun turns out to be pink, and the rose at the bottom on the arch is now flowering..............borage appearing where it wasn't planted as usual and almost out...........
......i've bought some scented geraniums at the Highland Show today to replace the courgette, hope we can take cutting and generate more and more...............
