When we were down in Brum, in May, we took a cutting from my SIL hydrangea. It travelled about with us for two weeks, and survived.

It is doing well.





All the way from Castle Vale to NE Scotland. Bit of a culture shock for the poor thing.

SIL says it has white flowers.

a brummie hydrangea

Yes, Pete. Growing within sight of Spitfire Island. If it likes sea air, it should do OK up here.

I like that a Brummie hydrangea!!!!!

If I get anything from Birmingham it always feels really homely.

My Clem has started to flower.





It is mixed in with a Honeysuckle.



Pots are doing well.



Now the sun is out, we have a few bees about.

Not in my garden, but just across the road, one of the pleasant aspects of life in a small village.

the mites are about

Harvest mites in dogs

Veterinary advice on Harvest mites in dogs, including symptoms, causes and treatments.

www.pdsa.org.uk

harvest mites bite and feed on all warm-blooded animals so that includes us! Luckily however, it's usually just an irritating bite on the feet, ankles, or lower legs that, although itch, can be treated with over-the-counter creams.

Two baby visitors this morning

Beasties are about.





And of course, Starlings.

We had a very hard winter last year; these are very late blooming and far fewer blossoms.


These are about 1 meter away from the daisy's, they are blooming late but in great abundance. They should be brilliant white in about 10 days. We are looking forward to it!

[Strawberry Hunter]

Oh no! It's raining heavily here, but at least I've managed to do some gardening today. Tidied up some pots. Fed a conifer that was moved last week.

 

[Strawberry Hunter]

Well, no rain today, so I've strung up some hydrangeas on canes. General tidying, watering. Hopefully everyone else has managed to escape the rain too!

We've had your rain SH.

It started about 11:30 hrs. and stopped around five o'clock.

I did get out for a walk with the dogs before the rain started, and seeing a Skylark brightened my day.

[pjmburns]

No gardening for me today but... actually dried the washing outside - hurrah!

 

[Strawberry Hunter]

Uh oh! Apologies for my rain being deposited elsewhere, but I can't say I'm jealous!!!!!!

WHAT? Drying washing outside in July, well there's a thing!!!!!!!

A lack of small birds in my garden at the moment except for the resident Robin, we have noisy visitors in the large Sycamore opposite the house, they are the Shard End parakeets beautiful but noisy although they do fly back home every evening
Apparently many nearby areas now have parakeets.
