Mags, I’m a real fan of Agapanthus. Do you know the name of your white one?
Did you see my blue ones and white ones on the previous page?
Your Hibiscus is really pretty too. 
I had got behind in the veg garden after being away for a couple of weeks, but luckily my neighbour keeps things watered for me as best he can, so not all bad news on my return…
Aubergines tomatos and sweet peppers doing OK in the greenhouse…
Root veg looking good, parsnips carrots and beetroot already producing edibles, even the swedes are nearly big enough for two…
The beans, after a terrible start, are cropping madly and we are giving away many more than we can eat…
The onions have done really well and are quite big enough for our needs so I have pulled them and have laid them out to dry…
The Oregon thornless blackberries have suffered because of the intense heat last week, so the early berries have been lost but it looks like there are plenty more coming along which should be OK, they really are one of my favourite fruits so I would hate to lose the whole crop…
All in all not a bad year up to yet, I just hope the autumn raspberries crop OK because they seem rather short of flowers up to now… so fingers crossed…
They look and sound fantastic Barry. I wish I had a bit more space to do that.
Yes Dogs we are very lucky having the space, in fact there js too much sometimes and it can get overwhelming if we get behind…
Before we moved, we had the space but not the time, now we have the time but not the space. 
Thanks Meg 
the garden didn’t suffer too bad while we were away but I’m afraid the baskets and pots just shriveled in the heat.
Thanks LD I love the Hibiscius too. It’s in the front garden very close to the garden wall and it’s surprising how many passing people just rip off the stems 
Thanks Mups I’m sorry I don’t know the name of the white Agapanthus - I bought 2 loose bulbs from the Flower Market in Madeira about 15 years ago, I gave one to my daughter and hers turned out to be a blue one
I did see your blue and white ones, you have quite a big collection of them now I really like your white and blue one, such a delicate colour on the huge flower head.
Thanks Mags.
I have a realy beauty out the front which I want to get a picture of - that’s if it is still there after the winds and rain this weekend!
Looking forward to seeing that one so I hope the weather doesn’t spoil it…
This is lovely Mags
Wow these are beautiful Mups
I have grown two in pots it has taken me two years .
A4e yours in the ground?
Thank you Muddy.
No, mine are all in big pots.
Every spring I scrape the top couple of inches of soil off, and replace it with fresh soil - a mixture of 2 parts John Innes No. 3 and one part horticultural Grit.
Divide plants when they are too pot bound.
People say they need to be pot bound, but there is a difference between being ‘snug’ and no growing room at all!
Feed mature plants about every 3 or 4 weeks with a high potash feed like Tomorite.
Feed young plants a little more often.
This chap has some beauties. I have bought off him in the past and found him very helpful.

More Agapanthus.
This one is almost 5ft tall.
Wow! those agapanthus are giants, Mups … love the close up, so beautiful! 
Thankyou Mags. They are beautiful aren’t they.
I think that one is my favourite. It is called ‘Queen Mum.’
The heads are just on 11" across, and they are face height to me.
I’ve just been out and measured mine, they are 4ft high and 9½" across 
Yours really are stunning - are they in the ground or a pot Mups?
Muddy asked that too, Mags.
Have a look at post 131 and it explains a bit more there.
Oops, I must have missed that post, thanks Mups.
Those are beautiful Mups! Mine are way past flowering. You’re lucky to have them flowering so late.
Thanks Annie. I am very proud of them, they have been beautiful this year.
The blue ones flowered a little earlier and are going over now, then these ‘Queen Mum’ ones are a little later, to continue the colour. I think it’s always sad when they start to die off for another year.
Mups these really are stunning .
Do you bring your pots in in winter ?
