We have loads of Rosemary in our front garden, and one year my Neighbour Leisa asked if she could have some as she was cooking Lamb, so I went and cut her a bundle and gave it to her, went back indoors, all of a sudden I heard a scream coming from my Neighbour, a Grasshopper jumped out of the Rosemary onto her, I didn’t see it as its the same colour as the leaves.

I can see them Alan.

This is the next stage of my Cactus Plant, never had a flower growing on it before, and have had this plant for ages.
Awww! That is really pretty.
Does anyone know what kind of Cactus this is?
Lovely - freshly picked pears, mmm. We have a 3yr old apple tree and hope to have around a dozen apples this year, after thinning and aphids and other bits and bobs, still better than last year when most of 'em fell off!

AS you can se photographing flowers is not my stong point

I used to have Rosemary in the back garden but a local tom cat took a liking to it and would scent spray it every time he visited :shock:
My sweet peas did well to start with but have ended prematurely I think .
The Phlox ,Veronica, and wild flowers have done well , the Nastursions have been attacked by Aphids Black ones .

It’s been too dry for my plants this year and we’ve also had a problem with the black fly and green fly - the lawn doesn’t look so good either.
