Well I have never seen such a deep purple nigella before. It was a total surprise. Where did it come from? I`ve no idea.
When I added these to our pick at home, I was able to make my first batch of raspberry jam. It is so satisfying to make, as it sets so quickly. Can`t wait for toast and new jam tomorrow for breakfast.
The lavender hedge is doing well after we removed the wire net tunnel and weeded around. The net is now behind forming a wall. I do not trust those rabbits.
The first dahlias are out. The variety is My Love which has proved to be a strong plant and one of the easiest to take cuttings from.
These are the first dahlias from seed, in bloom.
Steve and I set up a strong framework for the longest stand of sunflowers, using two stakes and the old yurt frame poles. It meant that we were able to remove all the canes which are never strong enough to support fully grown sunflowers when it gets windy.
The alstromerias in this clump have survived upright. Elsewhere in the garden they have been flattened. They make a good cut flower.
These incredible red roses appear to be too heavy for their stems and I keep finding them bent over which is a good excuse to bring one home.
And finally I picked the first bunch of sweetpeas.
