Disappointed

These are beautiful

The buds have opened

I love this group of pots

The Olive full of flowers

Purdy photo bombing again!

I have been in the garden this morning, and I'm disappointed, after the late spring and now with the heat wave, the beds are not looking good, I have gaps in the flowers and I'm fighting the urge to buy more plants. My herb bed is really suffering. Most of the fruit was planted this year so not much fruit to come, the blackcurrant has a few berries, my pink gooseberry which I cut back hard last year to beat the saw fly, has plenty of new growth, so loads of promise for next year. Strawberries, again in their 1st year, is a slow crop. The Raspberries are coming along, but they are late cropping.
The raised veg garden is doing well, but still early. My french climbing beans in a tub, are not much past 24" high. Even my sweet pea's, which I have never been successful with, have stopped growing and so far, I have one bloom.
The three tomato plants have loads of flowers, but are behind, they do look good with the Basil in the middle and loads of French Marigolds around the edge of the huge round tub.
Have you guessed, I am hankering for a normal summer here, less heat wave and a few more rainy days, I am used to having to water most days, we do live in one of the driest area's of England.
Day at home here, started off very dull and cloudy, but now the sun is high and hot. I am going to walk to our local park, they dug up a huge section and turned it into a wild flower meadow, and the flowers are looking stunning, I'm sure photo's will follow.
Later I want to start loading music onto my new speaker, it's going to take loads more than I will put on there, I love the music of my teens, so loads of 70's disco.
This evening I will be stitching, I am enjoying this latest project.
