Cheers to Debby H for sending us some pictures of her garden in north London now that the summer is sadly coming to an end (how quick has this year been?) The first (above) is of the Zephyranthes Robusta (AKA Rain Lily). As she told us “These bulbs have flowered so many times this summer. We thought that we had seen the last for the year, but amazingly it has performed again!”, great to hear!

There’s also the Ornithogalum “The flowers have now grown. Unfortunately, one of them broke off, possibly due to the wind, but we still have 8 flowers.” Even though the picture is a little out of focus it gives us a good idea how they have done this year.

“Our sedum has flowered and is looking very pretty” above.
Debby also has a self-seeded ragwort (we think) which if it is, has a nice flower but has its problems as it is poisonous to horses and other livestock and causes minor skin irritations so it’s better to leave those gardening gloves on if you ever are wanting to pull one up.
Cheers for the update Debby, the garden is looking great!

Cheers to Gerry Hectic for sending us the picture of his “Microfrog”, now that is one small frog!
Cheers to Rich R in the Lake District for sending us
Cheers to Rich R for sending us this and to Daphne for taking the pic which cheered us up no end this grey morning. It’s a view of Scotland from the lake district. Wonderful stuff!



It’s great to hear that Gerry Hectic is taking on a new seed saving project after tasting a strawberry that was so nice he got given one that he is now saving seed from and trying to grow a plant from it. He is now trying the same method on the above!
