Garden Snap Shots!

Stunning rose, I got this one, and our incredible rambler from a very knowledgeable lady gardener who specialised in roses. She sold plants from her own beautiful home and garden between Helston and Hayle. I told her I needed something that would do well in part shade and she came up with the perfect option, evergreen as well, and a great anti theft plant, I wouldn’t want to get tangled in it! PJ likes it sunny though, but it’s doing really well.

Third attempt to load a few garden photos, ready for the upcoming open day for local funds. Others doing the same, so it will be busy for several of us. Not looking good weatherwise despite predicted heat arriving soon! 

Lovely photos brue and hope the open gardens event goes well, must put a couple of mine photos on here not as good as yours, my old garden would have been lovely at this time of year front  and side only though.

It all looks beautiful Brue👏👏 I would be round it like a shot😁 I love the NGS open days, such variety. Have very happy memories of going to one at Lamorna Cove many years ago, and the owner gladly allowed us to take our three Airedales around with us (on leads of course😁) She had a sweet little Fox Terrier that gardened with her, and we spent ages nattering about plants and dogs. Hope the fundraising goes well👍

Four really nice Salvia plants which really add colour . 

Hot Lips

Ruby Lips 

Lemon Light

Washingham White

I really like the lemon one, I can't say that I have ever knowingly seen it but I will certainly look out for it, I am sure I can squeeze it in the border somewhere 

Yes that the problem I have Impy, I just can’t resist buying when I see a plant I like. But finding room becomes a problem.

l didn’t know about Salvia’s until the lockdown but fell in love with them , there seems to ben100s of them.

Before the rain started today I took a photo of our schzewan pepper tree which is covered in peppercorns for the first time. We are growing it in a pot but will try planting it out later. It's got huge thorns so not the easiest tree to handle.

Also our bargain Lidl "sale" Olive tree is covered in blossom but I don't think we'll see olives growing here. Looks attractive if nothing else. 

And our only Echium this year has gone skywards, lots of seedlings around for more in the future.

Lovely quite exotic stuff brue😁 Our nearest nursery has started selling huge Olive Trees, in pots 5ft diameter. Very expensive but folks are buying them, one of our neighbours bought one last year. It will be interesting to see if it fruits this year. It had loads of olives on when they bought it. 
Garden for me as well today. Quite nice here after rain last night. I am trying to sort out some Hazel trees into a semblance of a hedge. Want it clear underneath, to around four foot, then a couple of feet of greenery to give some privacy a foot or so taller than our rear wall. Lots of nasties to clear underneath, nettles very vicious at the moment.
We have a serious bindweed issue here at the moment sadly😱 Our neighbour’s are lovely, but don’t do anything in their garden beyond mowing a tiny lawn patch near the house. Their garden is huge, twice the size of ours, but it’s full of bindweed, nettles, sticky weed, and everything overgrown and neglected. To compound things, bindweed is considered “pretty”, but it’s starting to invade our garden badly, despite my efforts to do what I can to sort it out. I simply will have no resort but to spray it. Very hard work, it’s in the hedges as well.😱😱😱

Wisteria at it again , both started flowering for second time
