  4. Oh! No missus in her bikini then?

    Nice photos. Love the one of the campanula (if I’ve guessed correctly). Its been a good week for the garden… and the rest of us too. Let’s hope it continues.

  5. Very nice indeed.

    Hope to get some photography in myself, soon.

    Mind you, I still use Fujichrome as I suppose at least some of me is a luddite…

  6. Lovely to see a bit of colour appearing, isn’t it. I’ve no garden but a yard with higgledy-piggledy pots everywhere and the stars of the show (besides a couple of roses) are usually the fuchsias with about 10 different varieties. How are your fuchsias doing ?

    With the weather up and down leaf growth has been stunted and they’re growing a bit shrivelled but I’ve FINALLY got a couple of flower buds developing on a few.

    I’m hoping for a huge explosion of colour in about 6-8 weeks – all at once ! 😀

    • The fuschias are fine except for the hardys and we lost some of those in the long winter. The Alice Hoffmans are in bloom, though.

      • Mmhmm I “lost” about 6 to the Big Freeze…no leaf shoots and twiggy…but the roots looked ok so repotted em in fresh compost & root builder. They’re in intensive care to see how they go.

        See, I once tossed a pot containing what I thought was a dead fuchsia behind the shed…it was a stick I swear…and got a lovely surprise about 3 years later when I found it and it had miraculously rejuvenated.

        S’pose moral of the story is don’t give up on em. They really can be hardy little buggers.

        • I’ve lost about half my fuchsia’s and the rest are nowhere near to flowering. 😥
