SixOnSaturday

A distinctly autumnal feel this week , with a good deal of rain here . Everything is looking a fleck chirpy as a result . Sorry to be miss in action last week , thanks for all your good want . My daft run matter did n’t quite go to plan – I pluck up an injury ( nothing too serious ) towards the end of Day 1 then ended up limp through the first part of Day 2 before drop from the slipstream . Disappointing but these things happen .

Time for Six on Saturday . Six thing , in the garden , on a Saturday . Join in !

Here are my Six for this week .

1 – Not drinking straw . Remember a few weeks back my brown lawn ? It has rained quite a hatful in the last 10 days . It lives ! Needs a unspoiled haymow in fact , perhaps it ’s fourth or fifth this twelvemonth – it has develop very tardily due to want of rain .

2 – Fuchsia ‘ Riccartonii ’ . Not two week ago this shrub look dead . The leaves had all gone brownish and there was no sign of flowers . It survive in a enceinte grass on the terrace and I had not watered it enough over the spicy summer . It too has stage a recovery with the rain . It ’s almost like watering plants is undecomposed for them ?

3 – Verbascum ‘ Snowy Spires ’ . This run over some while back , but the rain has made it go rather mouldy .

4 – Rose ‘ Generous Gardener ’ . Not to bang on about it too much , but this rose was looking quite stressed for want of water . I did give it a practiced drinking a couple of weeks back , and the organised rain has further ameliorate its outlook . Second flush inbound .

5 – Sedum again . Looking very nice now .

6 – Virginia Creeper . Even more overgrown than the last clock time I posted a interchangeable picture . Clearly I have not yet got around to shinning up a ladder to trim it . What ’s the betting that if I do , I somehow dilute through the Christmas spark which are still up there ?

Have a super weekend , maybe get some gardening done ?

I ’ll be back next weekend for another # SixOnSaturday .
