💐Flowers for the Table 💐

 You may have noticedthat I didn't do my usual "flowers for the table"post last week .

This is because there are hardly any flowers in the garden to pick , due to the long drought .

I managed to find a few today ; enough to cobble together what turned out to be a rather extravagant arrangement !

Two very small blue hydrangea sprays , one small spary of Rosa "Bonica", a very small spray of red Pelargoniums . The rest is Bay , Pittasporum and Miscanthus sinensis .

                   What do you think ? 😀 lol ! 

Followed by a stroll along the beach .....

   

                                   Peace and Love 🕊️🤍

Still in the Greenhouse

 

Taking me longer than I thought !  I'm still clearing out the Tomato plants , pulling out the "grow pot-bags" , tipping out the spent compost and folding and putting them away for another year . 

It's a job that I had thought would only take me ten minutes . I've been up in the greenhouse for most of the morning .

 It's been a horrible mucky task and my back is telling me to stop now , after my spine injury last year and a week in hospital , I really don't want that to happen again .

Ricardo will wheel this down to one of the vegetable beds for me , I'll spread it all out and let the worms do the work for me .

               One odd shaped cucumber for sandwiches !

I finished off greenhouse operations with a bit of a sweep and that's my lot for today !

         Ricardo has done a great job of cutting the grass in the meadow .

We've had a few hefty rain showers over night . The water-barrels are full and the grass is growing away fast again after the long dry summer  . 

               It's sunny and breezy today 🌤️hope you are having a great week .

                              Peace and Love 🕊️🤍

🌿Another Day in the Greenhouse 🌵🌿

 It is so refreshing to be able to see into my greenhouse now the tomato plants have been cleared from the bench !

              Leuchtenbergia principis    and hang on ....have a look at the label ...

                  Passiflora manicata the one with a lovely red flowers  .

I want to train it horizontaly along the greenhouse window . I need to fix up some support for it . I think it should be o.k and look great there  . It will need a much bigger pot eventually .  I'm still thinking about it . It might be a better idea to put it into a tub below the bench , and have it grow up through the bench and then fix up some horizontal support .

  Anyway , that's a Turmeric plant next to it . I think both of these will die back and go dormant over the Winter months .

   ⭐  Bowiea volubilis - her tiny star flowers now forming little cone shaped seed pods .⭐

                                 Another Cucumber swelling up !

                            I will be clearing under the bench next. 

            All is well in the greenhouse .🌵🌿

I am off to pull out the lawnmower and tidy the labyrinth .  

                     Make it a great weekend !

                                   Peace and Love 🕊️🤍
