What's Looking Good in July 2022

Ratibida. This was my first attempt growing it from seeds. Cats and moles destroyed all but one plant. I think it's worth the effort.



Rudbeckias. Also from seeds started during the winter.



Squash flower and friend.


Four O'clocks.

 

Ta Logan In the polytunnel, doing a cutting to see how it does outside next year. The bees love it

 

Cornflowers...



Corncockles...



Corn Mariglods...



And Viper's Bugloss

 

Daniel, the Ratibida and Mirabilis are looking good. I like seeing your flowers.

 

Thank you @Sjoerd. Planting those seeds helped me get through a gloomy winter.

@Zigs those are very nice. I've never heard of corn cockles or corn marigolds. There is a plant that grows all over here that looks like the corn marigold. I've grown cornflower a few times but here they are called "Bachelor's Buttons".

 

What better way.
Chapeau for the accomplishment.

 

Thanks Zigs and i hope that the cuttings take.

Hanging baskets are filling out


Wind anemones

 

Those are lush and beautiful!

 

Thank you Daniel

 

Corncockles were apparently brought over from the middle east by Neolithic farmers when they brought the first grain crops to Europe. The seeds are pretty poisonous

 

The fuchsia and Japanese anemone — look spectacularly good, Loggie.

 

All the flowers are fill in the garden.

 

Thank you Sjoerd
Just picked some plums put them in the fridge to have with our breakfast. Got a lot more that i will give away to neighbours and friends.

Haven't had trouble with codling moth grubs this year,I wander if it's because we didn't have plums last year and broke the cycle.
