Post pictures of your favourite plants. I will when I get some.

bertie · August 2013

we bought our usual couple of tomato plants in May, expecting them to be the 'can grow in a porch' varietyt that mrs bert got me last year.

They were relegated to the back yard a few weeks ago, and are now over 8 foot high !!

They are plants with miniature tomatoes, not miniature tomato plants !!!!

I love the smell of tomato plants. Reminds me of my grandad's greenhouse. And now I'm sad because I probably won't see him ever again.

First, my purpley flowery things I grew from seed... 'Purplus Flowerus' I think they're called.

Then my famous intercontinental ballistic greenhouse...

Containing..... Cherry tomatoes, aubergines, chillies, parsley, basil, sage, rosemary, oregano, chinese asters, dwarf somethingorothers, californian poppies and slugs.

It's a bit cramped in there right now. I think I overdid it on the tomato plants and I wasn't expecting the aubergines to produce such monster leaves. Mind you, I've never grown them before and I didn't check beforehand.

Many plants what I got.

Don't ask me what they are called, except the big one, which is a Magnolia Grande Flori.

We have one of those along the back wall.

And a Clematis climbing up the front of the house.

bertie · August 2013

our 'main' clemetis was choked by ivy, and we had to get rid of it earlier this year, the base of the stem was 8" accross

Impressive.

Actually I got it wrong.

We have a Clematis along the back wall and a Wisteria in the front garden.

We did have a Clematis on the front wall but it didn't survive last year- it is very exposed.

Also have a privet hedge in the front garden that I planted myself 2 years ago.

Finally gave it a proper pruning in July and it is looking like a proper hedge now- very exciting- I've never managed to get things to live this long in the past.

The 'fret' bench surrounded by shrubs where I strum away the afternoon on my acoustic ... this often involves beer ..

Sometimes - it's a unique way of relicing an acoustic though .. lovely smell of stale beer and dubious stains ... :-)

chillidoggy · August 2013

Fuck, I'm pissed. How do I post pics here?

chillidoggy · August 2013

Ooooh.....serious headache this morning!

Anyway, let's try this. 'Mrs Palmer', my canary island date palm. Had it for about 10 years, it's about 15' tall now.
