Garden this morning

[JR]

Although we had a good rain last night around 4 ish which cooled things, it's going to be another hot one.

Beautiful John, a real oasis - there's obviously a lot of work gone into that.

[Wouter]

Looking good, even we these temps...My broad bean plants are suffering, even though I give them water morning and evening...

All looking splendid John. And no sign of black spot on that rose !
Is that a Rhino Greenhouse ?

[Guest]

Lovely John.

I'm not much of a gardener myself but do appreciate a well kept one

Hi John
Beautiful. A great deal of love and hard work has gone into that. A haven to sit in quietly with a good book and a cold beer.

Looking very nice John. The thunderstorm flattened my outdoor tomatoes, and I'd left the greenhouse door open, so it's flooded!

Taken a lot of watering as you know, but still the sweet peas have had a terrible year.

Hi Colin unfortunately there is a little, yes a Rhino so glad we bought it. Absolutely the best ,it's about 15 years old, just had to replace the auto vent pistons this year. Went on Evil bay, 2 pistons for the price of one vent every where else complete.The mechanisms were perfect.

Lovely John.

Thanks Jim, I like to sit at the top in the shade, we face south so good sun most of the day

Thanks , didn't hear a thing here. Tom's in the green house not the best this year. We have to leave our greenhouse door open to stop birds flying into it. Two killed this year, unfortunately in leaving the door open Mrs Black Bird goes into the greenhouse and throws any seedling left in trays on the floor all over the place, while searching for grubs. Hope you've not lost anything.

John,
Looks very nice mate

Cheers Paul .

Thanks gents.

It's a concrete base, so the flood is not really a problem, just messy. We didn't actually lose anything, but there are a few rooted cuttings of catmint (our cat destroys them in the gardern, so I like to keep some cuttings going) that the neighbours' cat had thrown about. Ours is too lazy to jump up on the staging, but we've seen next door's cat in there a few times.
We used to have one of those magnetic mesh curtains to keep the blackbirds (and cats) out, but haven't bothered this year.

Those did quite alright luckily in my yard...only setback was that the jackdaws were quite cocky and easily ate half of them before I could harvast...Perks of nature ey LOL

Looking lovely John, lots of colour:smiling4: I spent Saturday morning dead heading geraniums and pottering about in the garden , you can’t beat it:thumb2:

[colin m]

a little

A little Black Spot, I could show a few pictures that would curl your toes. Although, I have read glossy leaves are a bit more resistant.

yes a Rhino

We bought one about 6 years ago. As you know, a touch on the pricey side, but very good. Those one piece glass panes for the sides were a new on me.
