P1030413

Bignonia or Trumpet flower, has been fantastic this year, we have three growing over the pergola. 

         P1030414

The Glycine, or Wisteria flowering for the second time…….. I thought it went well against the jute cloth we put up as shade this year, and the pink solar light.

 

       P1030418

I have never been a great fan of Pelargonium's but this year, they have looked great, the reason I am not keen, is the smell of the leaves, but then mosquitoes don’t like then either :O)

So next year I am intending to plant them under each window, I have already bought the window troughs……so watch this space 2013 !

 

 P1030421 A slight problem with our tomatoes this year, turned out to be Tomato Canker, treated with Bouillie bordelaise ( copper sulphate ) and it took a bit of time, but the tomatoes are cropping thick and fast now (mid August).
