SixOnSaturday

Last week ’s university drop off was rather larger-than-life , close to 600 miles on the clock , but two scholarly person safely deposited in the North East . Pretty showery here the last duet of days and more to come . I shall be circumvent shower in the garden this weekend , I have some tidying up to do . The tomato industrial plant are about done now , I want to clear them away so I have elbow room in the glasshouse for garden refugees . In the meantime , it ’s Six on Saturday . Six things , in the garden , on a Saturday . Could be anything , you resolve . Join in !

Here are mine …

1 – Zinnia . The culmination of several months of hear to grow zinnia . The plants are long-shanked , only have one stem per flora , and the sluggard have given them a good munch . Still , a flower . Not sure I ’ll bother next class .

2 – Clematis tangutica ‘ Bill Mackenzie ’ . Well now . I thought Bill here was essentially done earlier in the summertime , but turn out he was just resting . In late weeks he has put on a growing spurt , filling out significantly and is putting on a safe show , with a combination of young flowers , rafts of them , and I still have the germ heads from the first flush .

3 – Canna seeds . I ’m sorry to say it , but there is something mistily venereal , scrotal even , about the germ font . Moving swiftly on , I ’m not sure these will ripen before the Robert Frost . To be fair the industrial plant are not that good , the leaves are a very plain green , I probably do n’t want to grow more of them . credibly .

4 – genus Prunus incisa ‘ kojo no mai ’ . If there was any remaining doubt about our autumnal condition , kojo here can drive off it . in spades in its autumn finery now .

5 – Lettuce ‘ Little Gem ’ . These were kindly fall in to me by a fellow nurseryman locally who admit pathos on the pathetic results of a late sowing . It was too red-hot in the greenhouse , that ’s my alibi . Hers were in excellent term and I was felicitous to take them off her hands in rally for some persicaria division . They are develop on nicely and should keep me in lettuce for the next month or two . I will overcharge them up later in the month . you could also see a good sprinkling of acorns , a bit of a nuisance at the moment , the overhanging oak tree tree is dropping an exceptional crop all over my veg plot . Hopefully they will unhinge the squirrel from the bulbs when I establish them .

6 – Pyrocantha berries . I recently saw a fabulouspictureof a tightly check and clipped pyrocantha more or less covering the side of a theatre and totally dripping in berries . I ca n’t quite vie with that , but mine does have more Charles Edward Berry than it has ever had before . They ’ll last quite far into the wintertime until the birds get desperate , then they ’ll denude it marginal in no time .

Have a super weekend , hopefully some of it will be spend in the garden , and do n’t forget to crop up back as more links get added during the Clarence Day .

Stay safe , I ’ll be back next weekend with another # SixOnSaturday .
