Thank you .

I’ve seen the temps there during your heatwaves, they don’t appear to be very high. But, I guess it’s just a relative factor. The heat index here can get extremely high sometimes.
The worst heat index here was about 132 degrees (55.5 c) back in July of 2006, during California’s hottest summer ever recorded in the state. It was absolutely HORRIBLE!

I know, she is my I.T. support, free of charge too!
She occasionally works on-line from our house so I pay her in meals ... :o))

There is a place called Hotham Park in Bognor Regis where we used to take our children, and I have photos of myself with my sister as children there, back in the Fifties!!

Sure is big! It always brings back memories of my student days in Cardiff and of course when the children were young.

So do I . Hard to get rid off.
On question - Hi Everyone
They grow fast here as well but not by railway lines . ...just in the gardens.

We have several of them Shirley. I told Andy that this part of our house looks like houses in Austria.

The name of mine is "Dr. Brouwer", I will have to find out how hardy it is. I know that these plants originate in South Africa so I assumed they will not survive our winter .

A 30 acre lake is massive! Thanks so much for showing your visit, looks to be a lovely park.

David, 20.15 now and all seems remarkably fine on here.
I have had to stake some more up this afternoon, the tall ones need some support.

It is a beautiful variety.

Julia, this is true to my camera for a change, no filters or suchlike.
I am feeling frustrated as I took over twenty pics this afternoon, none of which are showing on my desktop screen now. Sarah reckons they will still be on the computer, it's just a case of finding them, aaargh!

I shall add that the variety 'Shirley' is a tasty tomato!!!

They vary Klahanie with hardiness...some are evergreen whilst others deciduous...this one is the latter .

I have them outside, in the sun so will see how many we will get this year.
Thanks for your note Shirley.

I bought an Agapanthus this year and wonder if it will survive our winter.
Yours has also pretty leaves, mine does not.

Collared Doves come in the garden for a drink ... they have the white marking around their neck ... hence the name.

I used to grow tomatoes in the unheated greenhouse ... the taste of a fresh one straight off the vine is wonderful!

Good to see you again, Sue! It's a very strange photo of a Sunflower! I've grown Sunflowers with multiple heads but they have always been on their own individual stems. I've never seen one like yours before!

I've only seen a couple of dead bees but there are lots on the balcony - live ones that is! :)
The Lavender plants around here are full of bees! :)

Hello Balcony, I'm afraid I haven't been on here for a month, for the reasons we were talking about. So many adverts popping up over all the areas you need to use, it's impossible! But today I've looked in and have managed so far to be able to write this. I'll never catch up now, but not to worry. I've tried other sites before but have always come back to this one.
