I have had a busy day in the garden today, doing jobs which I have been unable to do in the week, due to the hot weather. This weekend has been grey and cloudy with cooler temperatures, so I was able to catch up a bit. Above is Jasmine 'Clotted Cream', which is doing really well, with lots of flowers still to come.
I have planted a couple of Penstemon 'Garnet' and potted my Blueberry 'Goldtraube' into a much bigger tub. I have also potted my Raspberries 'Joan J' into a big tub too as they had filled the original one. Above is Hydrangea arborescens 'Annabelle'.
I did some cutting back of geraniums which had flowered and also removed some violas which had become rather thug-like. Above is Clematis 'Piilu'.
I wasn't the only busy one in the garden - lots of bees were visiting the jasmine and lavender. So, a good day (but my back is aching a bit now!)
You've got some lovely plants there Ellie, I bet the garden smells wonderful.

ReplyDeleteThank you. The jasmine smells really lovely as you go past it. It has done very well this year with lots of flowers still to come.

What a beautiful Jasmine! Ours is a pink variety and I often wish we'd bought white.

DeleteThank you. 'Clotted Cream' is a lovely variety and has a gorgeous scent. It seems to be quite a tough plant and this year in particular, it is flowering really well. It seems to be a much stronger grower than the white jasmine I have got. I can definitely recommend it.
Best wishes
