Fuchsias fending for themselves...

Lovely show of fuchsias ,Empress of Prussia is so pretty.

Have a wonderful holiday Bloomer.

Thank you Kath..They were all later this year,but came good in the end :o) I'm sure we will enjoy ourselves. it's mandatory really :o)

Enjoy your holiday :) x
Your Fuchsias will be fine. This time of year they won't dry out so much.

Thank you Hywel,.x.and that's good to hear..I'm sure this time of year is more amenable for them,than hot weather....they have always been ok before :o)just me being daft.. lol

Have a nice holiday Sandra. You have a nice collection of plants here especially the first pic.

We're all daft when it comes to worrying about our plants lol
So you're not really daft at all :) x

Enjoy!

Thanks Paul..glad you like "The Empress " :o)..and Hywel,a lot of us think like that..must be the gardener in us :o)
...
Thank you Scottish..:o)

Sandra: My neighbor's garage caught fire somehow over night, but the fire reached over to my side and took out my forsythia which is over 50 years old and a Leyland Cypress which I was really fond of. I'm a little upset, but they are gone and I just have to deal with it. Time to move on. :). The firefighters did an awesome job putting out the fire without anybody getting hurt - just stuff. Time to put in the past and move on.

Bon Voyage have a super time all looking lovely there - as ever and sure to be fine on your return :o)

Happy Jollies Sandra!!

Beautiful plants, enjoy your holiday Bloomer.

Happy sailing!

Lovely Fuschia's Sandra, bit late but have a grand time anyway.....

Have a wonderful time B. and enjoy. x

Sorry tohear about the plants Bathgate, forsythia are strong plants so don't give up yet.....leave it untilnext year and look for green shoots in the spring.....

look forward to hearing about you hols Sandra, have a great time x

Thank you for the tip Pamg. I will do exactly as you say. I think the top was only singed but the root stock seems ok. The Cypress? That's a goner! I'll replace that.

Good luck with the forsythia Bathgate.
Sandra that Empress of Prussia looks very like Beacon, which was my number one favourite a year or two ago (top spot goes to a different one every year, I've got no loyalty!)
Keep your fingers crossed for a bit of rain half way through your holiday - but only at home, not where you are! have a great time.

Thanks, I hope there is something to salvage.

Sorry late as usual, just in case you are dipping in, have a wonderful holiday, keeping my fingers crossed for your plants, because you have some lovely ones..

Sorry to hear about your plants lost in the fire Bathgate.
I would be upset too. But as you said "the life goes on"

Thank you Klahanie. I can't undo the fire but I see it as an opportunity to redesign my garden - try something new.

pink is beautiful :-))) so soft !

Can I comment? it is mi first time Im new in Growson and my english is very poor, but I hope your all understand it. You have beatifull fuchsias I love them, but the weather were I live is too hot for them ( south Spain) even that I manage to have them happily.
I wish you a great holidays.

Welcome to GoY Pesquera - Yes, your English is perfectly understandable so don't worry. You might have weather that is too hot for fuchsias but you can grow other lovely things which it is too cold for here.

Beautiful...love Gary Rhodes!

I've only just seen this blog Sandra and looking at the dates , you should be back soon ! I hope you had a great time and come back rested and ready for the Autumn !
I love all your fuschias.

I'm back..and thank you for all your lovely comments..Sorry to read about your fire,Paul..I'm glad you see it as an opportunity to redesign..
The Fuchsias were fine,although it looked like confetti on the patio,with all the dropped flowerheads,which had really stained the pavers..jet washer needed,and even that didn't shift them properly,but diluted bleach did :o)
The cuttings I left in the shower were great..and the matting was still a little damp after two weeks,so I will definitely do that again..Oh,and I gave them a light spray first,in case they had whitefly on them..I didn't fancy sharing the shower with any when I got back ..!.not easily seen on a white background,I should imagine..Lol..
We have had a fantastic holiday,so will post a blog and pics before long...and Paul..Happy 1st Anniversary on GoY today..:o)
