What lovely gardens and plants! And those radishes - I have never seen such a glorious red colour on radishes before!

They really were delicious, full of flavour and very crunchy. I think things taste better when they are home grown 😀

This is the first year we've had this plant - Night Scented Phlox. During the day the flowers are closed and pink, about 7pm it opens like this and the scent is unreal! Its on the patio and we can smell it when we open the door. Its a perennial too - Ill do a pic of day/night.

An old fashioned plant, Tends to get overlooked especially as it’s not a striking plant in the day, must admit I’d forgotten about it but will try and find it at the garden centre now you’ve reminded me...

Gorgeous, my mum is very green fingered she has a theory that Roses never love you back as much as the love you put into them!

I concentrated on Veggies and herbs this year but I miss the flowers
planning a first return visit to the Garden Centre next week so Ill see what I fancy before ordering Roses

I’ve never really grown much before this year but I’ve tried a few flowers and veg this year and I’m really enjoying it. It’s been good for my mental health and definitely something I will continue after lockdown

My radish have been my biggest success, although my spinach and carrots look as if they are growing well. My lettuce doesn’t look as good, and my spring onions, peppers and kale could go either way at the moment 😂 My mint didn’t make an appearance at all

My Ox Eye daisies are looking very pretty which I planted 2 years ago, my wildflowers are looking quite feeble, so are my sweet Williams and sea lavender. My petunias didn’t grow at all but my sunflowers are looking strong at the moment

It’s a bit of a mixed bag but I’m enjoying looking after them all

Show casing my begonias today, and some little multi coloured flowers, so pretty!
