Last of the pots in flower..

Could be summer still!

erm,not last night Chris .a keen white frost,so I put them under the patio table..if you remember,I bought one for my friend's 90th birthday,and treated myself to one too..it has been well worth it.:o)

It's been a great year for summer bedding,hasn't it? Thank you,H.bird..I can't remember them lasting so long..

Very pretty under your table there Bloomer :o)

Hope you managed to save your lovely pot t from the frost,its so pretty and colourful still, we had a little frost last night but not keen enough to do any damage, my baskets are still flowering too fingers cross they dont succumb to the frosts;0)

Thanks Neena..they came back out today,as it was so mild :0)

Thank you Carole...this one is a 'look a like' plastic one:o)
all the pot ones are now safely stored in my cold frame,and mini growhouse...looking pretty bare on the gravel just now.:o(

:o)

I'm rather taken with bocopa, not used them before and mine are still in flower too. I've potted some blue ones up and brought the into the garage as I believe they're tender perennials:-))

It's the first time for me too,Ba..and I bought some white ones,which are in pots by the front door,which are still going strong.I never thought to pot them up,as I thought they were Annuals ? I might try to overwinter them too..thanks :o)

Imagine that! what a beautiful basket! You certainly manage dot o keep it going as long as possible!

Karen,this pot is STILL in flower..under an open sided porch by the front door..ok,the Bizzie Lizzies are looking a bit leggy now,but the Purple Bacopa is still flowering it's head off,as are the Yellow daisy type ones..no idea what they are called....and the white Bacopa out in the open are too..unbelievable ! x

Wow!:))

Typical Tropical Yorkshire.Karen ?? hardly..! just waiting for the minus temps to kick in,...that will stop it in it's tracks..:o(

All good things......

Going to add this to faves to remind me what plants to use next year for baskets.

Thank you Karen..I'm flattered..:o) I shall definitely have Bacopa again,both colours..I know the yellow flowers on the left aren't very clear,but have you any idea what they are please? I wondered if it was Bidens,but the foliage didn't look like the one as I know it..I might see if I can get a close up,and ask on Questions,unless you have any thoughts on it..xx

Sorry, I'm clueless on bedding...I know backpack and verbena.....that's about it!

You know more than me then,I've never heard of backpack . ? there is still some Verbena trying it's best in there :o).I shall make a note of just how much longer it will last..xx

Hi Sandra .
that pot has done very well :o)

Thanks Terra,it's amazing really..I look at it most days,and it's still looking decent..It will have a 'Santa stop here' placard in it tomorrow.. guess who's coming for tea?? :o) xxx

I guess tea will be for Thomas and Santa :o) xxx

You guessed right,Terra,,but Santa's might be a bit stale,by the time he arrives..:o) xx

bacopa! Lol!

I like backpack better ;o)

Lol,Karen..a bit slow on the uptake,aren't I ? :o) thanks x
and Terra,I guess that is what I will be calling it in future ! ..It all makes sense...NOW !ha ha x

Ha ha ..
next year maybe plant a sixpack ;o) x

What are you lot on today? Backpack and sixpack indeed! Sandra, I think the yellow flower IS Bidens ... I have a lovely book of ideas for planting containers but can't send it up to you so take a look at Google images to confirm ... :o)

Hi Shirley ..
Congrats. on keeping awake to read all these comments ;o)

LOL Terra ... am currently trying to fit far too much in my small oven for a roast dinner ... must keep awake, must keep awake ...............

I just hope Rachel de Thame doesn't come on the TV and hypnotise you ... Lol..

lol...you lot are so funny! :)))))

We should be inside a Christmas cracker ... ready to make folk smile!!!

Lol Terra..good idea about the sixpack..it will have to be John Smiths,or Theakstons then,seeing as they are brewed in Yorkshire,and the can colours will have to blend in with the colour scheme :o)

Thanks Shirley,that makes me less of a divvy than I thought I was :o) and I agree about being in a Christmas cracker..in a restraining jacket,to keep us there.?.but YOU have to wear the funny hat ! :o)

Just the one? I have been known to wear many paper hats at one time .......

Lol... I'll sign off and go to bed now, chuckling to think of Shirley wearing countless Christmas hats ..
... and Sandra planning her next year's 6-pack hanging basket displays .. we might need a whole new GoYpedia category for those ... ;o)

Night night,Terra..sleep well,and don't have nightmares..! Lol xxx

Good morning nightowls

Sounds to me as if you're all christmas crackered......

Or been at the sherry trifle again. :0)))

Just a bit,Pam..but we live to fight another day ! Lol..not good to have Sherry trifle at bedtime..breakfast maybe ??
Lol xx

Whatever floats your boat Sandra xxx
Brandy sauce anyone. :0)

Couldn't face it just now Pam..just had a 3 course Christmas lunch with Carole and Harry..and feeling stuffed..maybe in the morning ..not !! :o)

Lovely happy time with good friends xxx

Spot on,Pam..and it always is :o) I passed on the Sherry Trifle ! Lol.xx
