This year there is a plethora of self seeded poppies (again in my vege beds) of all colours and fashions, here are a few pictures of them:

I went to the allotment on Monday evening for about an hour to water and also got chance to finish weeding the allium bed. We have since had a lovely heavy showery day on Tuesday so the plot should be ok till I visit again on Sunday..
I also have to make time to finish planting out my other squash family plants, I would have done it sooner but we were waiting for a tree surgeon to come and remove a stump at the back of the garden and his machinery would have needed to pass right were I have air marked for them to be planted. Now that job is done I can plant them out and hope to do so on Sunday.

Things are still quite hectic in my neck of the woods, my update on my other blog explains why, feel free to pop round for a visit. Hope life is treating you all well.

What a variety of poppies you've got, they're lovely. My squash still aren't in either, we'll get there in the end.
ReplyDeletegorgeous photos as ever. poppies are just so pretty. you're lucky to have such a great variety. do you eat your calendulas? mine aren't up yet and i have to say this will be my first year eating flowers/petals - i'm growing cal' & borage. my plates will be prettier this year. :)
ReplyDeleteI anm so envious of your poppies. Ihave never been able to grow any here where i am. So just have to admire those of others and those that grow wild.
ReplyDeleteJo, can you believe they are still not in, gosh time is just wizzing by and there is still so much to do.
ReplyDeleteSteph, I also eat my calendulas in salads all summer long, my borage also makes it my plate along with nasturtium, and hollyhocks which are pretty sweet.
Mangocheeks, thanks , I just wish they would grow where I keep putting them, they only seem to grow where they want.
These are lovely. I keep trying to grow poppies but for some reason they haven't really ever taken off for me. Yours are a real inspiration to keep trying!
ReplyDeleteMissing your blog posts, but am hoping that your having a wonderful time with your girls during the summer holidays.
ReplyDeleteMissing you.
ReplyDeleteHope all is well and that your just a busy bee!
Wow, thanks everyone for trying to make contact, didn't want you all worrying.
ReplyDeletemy little business has kept me very busy with attending craft fairs etc and i still have the busy christmas schedule to get through.
The garden and the allotment is an absalote mess and I am slowly trying to tame it before the real cold weather sets in.
hope to see you all more often in blog land soon, keep sweet and keep warm as the winter approaches

ReplyDeleteAmazing flowers and your garden is also much attractive. Feverfew is more sweet among all. How much time and efforts you required to decorate your garden in such a beautiful manner?

The garden is quite time consuming but it is all worthwhile in the end.
