Thanks everyone!

Yes. The jury is still out on mine. I’m not really loving them.

Get well soon Janey. X

It’s been a dreadful summer Shirley. Really disappointing. But we have had it m7ch better here than in Scotland where the skies have been leaden.

I remember ajuga doing that Shirley.
We can Ange!

Thanks Ange and Shirley!

Thanks Josee.

I've just this minute done the same! 😆

There are many of that colour Shirley...I have a similar one which is unnamed. Looks very healthy.

Beautiful.

I am about to post a photo taken six days on from this ... so many blooms now ... I love it!

Nice photo.

I put this pic on to show how I dealt with water running off onto the path when I watered. I had 3 plastic troughs (with heathers in) & bought 3 more. I sunk them along the path edge & it has been a great success, no more water loss. I will probably plant out the Erica’s eventually & put winter Violas in their place. I would like to keep my Osteospermums but I think it unlikely.

Thank you Ange, Kate and Sheila for your nice comments.

:-)
Thank you for your explanation Shirley_tulip. .Your villages look lovely and England as a whole has so many wonderful gardens which I only know from pictures and articles. I have never visited your country although I traveled most of the others in Europe.

Thanks David, it has a bud today so I hope to see another flower soon.

Thanks Siris, the leaves have yet to develop the rust, but it's bound to appear eventually!

Ange, I went out early evening to collect the slugs that were slithering across the lawn and garden path. I looked at the FB page for the next village to ours and folk had been doing just the same as there were so many appearing out of their lawns ... yuk!

It seems the Council garden waste bins are full of them now ... :o((

Hywel, mine originally came from GoY member Scottish in 2013 and propagates so well that a few GoY folk now have it in their gardens from mine!

Well I am amazed how well mine are doing, when you consider the extremely heavy clay soil! We did add compost and grit.

Rose, I highly recommend Chris Bowers since Ken Muir closed down. I’ve had lovely plants from them and you can choose your rootstock. My apple tree has 2 apples this year!

I do Ange. It’s just started flowering again!

I have an 2 identical ones, but they are called Atlantis! I’m hoping I will keep at least one through the winter. Mine are in pots.

No,it’s not, but the traffic can only come down here including buses. At the top, where you can see a 3 terraced building there is a little road where the traffic comes in from a B road skirting the town.It can only turn left & go up the High Street or right & down this street, Bridge Street. The same troughs are all the way along the High Street. I took the pic on a Sunday am, so not much around. It would be nice I think if only the buses ran through. Car owners would have to use the CP & pay, which I guess they wouldn’t like.

Thank you.

Salvias don't seem to like my garden Karen!
The flower borders only get sun part of the day, so maybe that's why.
Those are lovely.

I have been tempted to try apple trees in pots but not sure if I would get much fruit.
I have a lemon tree in a pot which is 7 years old now and the last two years didn't fruit, but this year is covered.
I hope you get success with yours Karen!

That was a good idea using chives Karen.

Love the colour Karen.

I love Hydrangeas and one of my borders is mostly them.
If I had room I would buy more!

I agree!

Sorry, Shirley, the name of that one is lost in the mists of time. I'm sure you're right.

Will do.

Thanks all, the plant identification remains a mystery!

As it was so cool and drizzly, I've been out taking cuttings.

Very elegant in grey, Josee.

Is that pedestrianised? It’s lovely to see a street with no yellow lines!

Yes a very pretty one Klahanie.

Wow, that’s a kind offer Ange … I do love a splash of white 🙂.

Sound a perfect plant.

Thank you David 🙂.

The underside is such a feature. I have this and a white flowering one, but the underside is not deeply coloured. Had them for years outside, but they are slow into growth each Year

Twinkle, twinkle little stars, how I like how you have displayed them.

Hope you manage to keep this going, it's pretty.

Like the Frilly white edge.

Unusual, very pretty.

Lovely, I don't have much success either these outside.

A very beautiful yellow rose, Shirley! 😆

It's a beautiful rose, Lincslass! 😆 Perhaps I should get one for our GWA in a couple of weeks time! 😆 😆 😆

It's a beautiful flower, Sheila! 😆
