Day five of Fog

 Yep day five of fog . We need the sun to come out now and dry out the hay .

Our  Cornish Elm has really gone downhill with the Dutch Elm disease  ...sigh....the leaves have only appeared on the lower  half of the tree .

On my way to the greenhouse this morning , I'm thinking how lush everything is today . We had torrential rain over-night  . No need to go around with the watering can today .

Incy wincy has made a new web , but he's hiding , just watching and waiting .

So , in the greenhouse we go ......

                                         Oh yeah !  ☺️

                                           Oh yeah !  ☺️

      Oh my goodness !  Here come the Sweet Peppers !

  This year I'm growing one called "Snackbite Red " Sown in February .

           I am quite impressed with these so far . Looking good !

                      Cucumbers 🌿.......

          ........just doing what Cucumber plants do 🌿🌿🌿🐝

The Primrose like leaves coming up in the Ledebouria pot has not gone unnoticed .

I will have to sort them out later on .

This old Epiphyllum needs re-potting . 

  I think it is a gorgeous red flowering one .

This was from my mum's plant , who in turn had a piece from my Grandmother's plant .

 I have no idea from where my Grandmother acquired it . No garden centres back in her day . 

                   🌿🌿🌿            🌿🌿🌿           🌿🌿🌿

 I'll take off that yellowing Phylloclade . Not strictly being a leaf as such .....rather a modified stem having the function of a leaf .

I will make several cuttings from that .

 

                           Epiphyllum Curt Backberg ....broken ....grrrr.....  🐈‍⬛

 

             Epiphyllum Curt Backeberg flower .

🐈‍⬛I suspect a neighbour's cat has been in again and broken off a couple of branches from this Epie .  Grrr ......( it's not really a very safe place for a puddy tat in a cactus greenhouse ! )  🌵

      Oh well !  I gave these to a couple of friends at church this morning .

 I only give cuttings to people who I know have green fingers , will love them and can make them grow ! 

I fixed up netting to stop the cat coming in . I have also had to usher out the Robin who follows me everywhere .

   I rescue bees and butterflies with the aid of a children's rock pool fishing net .

                                      Oooh !  ☺️

   Kalenchoe ..I have several varieties and can't remember their names . 

               Mother of Thousands is it's more folky name . 

She is flowering right now and there are thousands of babies !

                  Gawd ! What am I going to do with them all !

      Let me know if you'd like one !

     Selenicereus chrysocardium ....... I call it my Whale's Tail Epie    🐋

It lives on my bathroom windowsill .

 It had some mealiebugs . I treated it and left it outside last night in the rain , to rinse it off .🌧️ Lordy didn't it rain hard last night !  🌧️🌧️🌧️

 It looks so much better this morning .  Refreshed !  

 I think the sun is trying to come out .☀️ Time for lunch and then off for a walk .

               Love and Peace 🕊️ Go and make it a great day !

                                         Love Debbie 💐x
