Queen's wreath

I really must buy one of these again. This is the one growing up the road, which I visited on my walk this morning.

It looked a bit faded, so the flowering season must have passed. It really is a lovely plant.


Current House Shots

I went for a walk this morning and took these pics. Poor little house. More like a cottage really. I would love to have the money to redo the main areas and the roof, and oh! just about the whole of it.

Clover, my favorite weed



Last of the white crepe myrtle flowers until next late Spring 2019 + updates




22 May, 2019: Almost all leaves gone for the winter months. Time to prune, soon!


11 June, 2019:


15 June 2019 - 


10 Sept, 2019 - is it my imagination or do I see teeny-tiny bud swellings on these pruned branches?



This time last year (2018), by the end of September, there were new flowers on this tree!

End of season for virginia creeper, and then Spring again!

Slowly the leaves are dying and falling off, as the summer ends and Autumn is now with us. The last time this vine was mentioned, is HERE.


31 August - I see little buds on the sticks!





Last of the seasons's grapes

Only a few left-overs still on the vine, and leaves falling as the weather cools towards winter.

I will be pruning them in a few weeks.
