I've been out with the camera again!

Some of my edibles in pots



The sun catches the Fatsia leaves in what is the shadiest corner of the garden



I'm training the Passiflora on wires to create a pergola effect



This is an 'accident' but I like the combination of Briza maxima growing through the black Elder



Tree Spinach



Greek Cress gone to seed - it looks like a mini version of Eucalyptus



A bee enjoys the second lot of Sage flowers this year



This Mustard is much loved by a variety of insects



One of my baby Cucumbers - they are so slow this year



First ripe Chillies

Thanks Maggie.   :)  My Buddleia usually blooms in late June.  I prune it back really hard in March and, as it's on dwarf stock (allegedly), I pinch it out quite often too.  I have no idea what's happened this year as the stems are over 10 feet high!   :o It looks ruddy ridiculous really but I haven't the heart to cut it back again until the first flowers have finished.   ::)  ;D

Just lovely Georgie. Are you sure you don't touch up the pics before posting? ;D The leaves look so perfect on all the plants (not a bit of slug damage to be seen).
I am just jealous, they really are super plants.
