Helianthus Lemon Queen


Helianthus Lemon Queen

This has so many flowers to come out, it has never been as good as this before, the wet weather has helped it in this very dry part of the garden. I was going to move it but will leave it now. Hopefully we shall keep getting some rain in summers to come to keep it going as well as this year. Always a silver lining!!!!

lol In summer we rarely get that much rain over on this side of the country Waddy, seems to miss us out, this year has been the exception. I do understand you though, you have had quite a lot just lately it seems. Isn't it strange how the weather changes from place to place, we went out for a ride for supper to a chippy near Lincoln the other night it was raining buckets full in some of the villages just three miles up the road from ours and we had not had a drop, really weird. In fact I have not gone to cricket matches this year because of the forecast for rain it so spoils the match when they are in and out all the time, never had a year like that for ages and ages. Rain forecast for tonight but the sun is shining and it is lovely out there at the minute. Making the most of it. :O)

We've had rain most days/nights this week, in fact everyday barr two, since I moved the roses, which to honest has been a Godsend. I know just what you mean about the weather being strange though. I garden for a friend, who is less able and only lives a mile or so away and I've been known to ring her to call off a planned gardening day due to what I thought was a 'rainy' day only to be told that it's all dry at her house and not a drop falls all the time I am there. As you say weird. No rain last night here as it turned out, but very dull today so perhaps some later...

Ours has suffered because of the dry weather..... hopefully it is going to rain overnight we have moved some of our roses and moved several Perennials...the soil was like sand, going to need some manure.....
