We are going off to Fountains Abbey today. Whilst it is a National Trust property, it's also one of the few places that us English Heritage members can get in free to. The sun is out. Today's going to be a good day!
I'll just share some purple floweryness from the garden before I go get ready.
From the top
Campunala - a big one
Blue geranium
Rhapsody in blue rose
Campunala - a medium sized one
Petunia
Campunala - a miniature one
And a purple flower ( type unknown to me! )
Four of my Delphs in flower.
Bee and Spider
That's it for today. I'm off to be spoilt and indulged for the day! Hope the 25th June 2016 is marvellous for you all too!
Plus it's only 6 months till Christmas and as my Dad likes to point out, the nights are drawing in now!!!
Lots of love from

ReplyDeleteTo grow pips, clean all the flesh from the fruit off them, I rinse using a strainer for ages, then I pop the pip on the soil, with a tiny bit showing in a sunny warm place, it takes time but it works for me, do not crowd the pot, it's best not to repot until you have good growth. It is great fun to grow things from stones and pips.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!!! Not ready to think about nights drawing in or Christmas just yet!
