Very little to get excited about in #MyFenlandGarden apart from my annual shredded poppy. Oh, and a slight smattering of rain. So I made bread... 🇬🇧🌱🍞
A few defiant survivors in #MyFenlandGarden Apparently it's been too hot for bees to fertilise greenhouse plants which would explain a lot. Next year I'll plant outdoors. 🌱🇬🇧
It's desperately dry in #MyFenlandGarden the last water butt is almost empty. On the bright side, the ladybirds are enjoying my greenfly infested sweet peas. 🌱🇬🇧
High summer in #MyFenlandGarden where the roses open and wilt within 24 hours. The winners are achillea, campsis, sunflowers and buddlea 🌱🇬🇧
#MyFenlandGarden has made a shift into summer. Daily fruit picking, the figs of course have all self destructed again.
The roses are lovely, Zepherine Drouhin smells like Yardley's talcum powder and the Albertine smells like a good old fashioned rose. The Iceberg smells divine. And fig fall has begun... #MyFenlandGarden 🌱🇬🇧
A few gems before the drought sets in. Steeling myself for the annual disappointment when over 100 figs drop off the tree. #MyFenlandGarden 🇬🇧🌱
We had a splash of rain this week in #MyFenlandGarden - everything seems to be early this year. Can't decide if I really like the unusual allium or not... 🇬🇧🌱
#MyFenlandGarden is looking promising so far, we could use some rain though. 🇬🇧🌱
1st November in #MyFenlandGarden we still have roses and raspberries 🌱🇬🇧
Final roses of the year in #MyFenlandGarden The single is a Peace and the unknown cluster is the only rose I've ever grown from a cutting. 🌱🇬🇧
And now I have a whole new crop of figs at exactly the wrong time in #MyFenlandGarden Far too big to last until next year, not enough time to ripen this year . WHY?🌱🇬🇧
My Peace rose is on it's third bout of flowering in #MyFenlandGarden and I seem to have acquired a 🐈 🌱🇬🇧
Very droughty in #MyFenlandGarden not much colour, but the sweetcorn looks promising 🇬🇧🌱
4 days on the life of a sunflower in #MyFenlandGarden 🇬🇧🌱 #PrayingForRain
We've had a smidgeon of rain in #MyFenlandGarden the veg and fledglings are doing well. I have blackbirds and wrens feeding their young this week.
Back into searing heat in #MyFenlandGarden the greenhouse is covered again and I'm watering morning and night. The figs didn't make it...
Emergency greenhouse shading in #MyFenlandGarden. Second life for a filthy old tarpaulin
Peak fruit picking in #MyFenlandGarden this week and the cucumber growth spurt.
Torrential wind and rain in #MyFenlandGarden this week. The figs are clinging on... 🌱🇬🇧
