Eremurus and Yucca rostrata basking under the warm July sun
T-shirt, shorts, BBQ's, ice cream, washing drying in no time under the sun, bliss! And of course, lots and lots of gardening.This weekend was a mix bag of gardening (and home) related activities for us, so mixed that I couldn't even pin down one activity to claim as the highlight of the two days. Because of the really good weather suddenly the possibilities of things to do seemed endless, spoilt for choice so that's what we did, did as much as we possibly could as long as it still felt 'pleasurable'.
And you lose sense of time, with the long sunny summery days that seemed to go on forever. And for the first time this year, we were out in the garden till midnight.
A weekend of mixed activities, and of course mixed pictures of a summery weekend in our garden....
Flower spike parade, which one will turn out to be the prettiest? We'll find out in just a few days. (L-R Beschoneria septentrionalis, Eremurus, Kniphofia thomsonii, Yucca recurvifolia)
Beautiful variegation isn't it? Ginkgo biloba 'Beijing Gold'
Like stars, reaching out for the stars - Cotula hispida
The plants are definitely loving the sunny weather too!
Knickers and Twinkles were extra lively today!
Agaves, Palms, Nolinas, and Yuccas - definitely at home with the sunny weather
And yes, we built a pond this weekend. Just for a change...
All the fish were extra lively this weekend too.
Magnolia tripetala looking better each year. Possibly the easiest and most rewarding of the big leafed Magnolias
We do love our small wildlife pond. And for the first time this year we finally have newts in it!
The jungle!
Weekends never seem long enough! Hope your weekend was as fun, fabulous and productive as ours!Mark :-)
