Lastnight while checking my Gooseberries I saw a ripe 1 that I'd been watching for a week ready to pick that night and try it.
Looked at it and half of it was gone. Something had snagged half of it lol. I suspect a Blackbird as they have been hanging around the garden for a while as they had a nest in a shrub nearby.
I did get 1 though this morning that was nearly rip and was so juicy and yummy. Just a shame theres only 12-15 and not enough for a pie. Maybe next year there will be loads more.

We've just been given a hosepipe ban, of course, happens every year thanks to the water companies not having invested in their infrastructure for decades.
Despite this, the garden is looking pretty ok, Roses are seriously good this year but all the clematis are struggling for whatever reason.
I'm getting a bit old and creaky now and the multi-level garden is becoming challenging so I'll be toying with schemes for scaling back the amount of effort I have to make. Tricky, given our rubbish clay and flint soil and the increasing-by-the-year shade thrown by the unmanaged woodland on two sides

Some pictures I took yesterday of some of this years flowers.
Had a great display this year. Very happy seeing them all seeing as I neglected my garden for so long due to my poor glass back.

Your garden must look lovely! Do you dig up the dahlias in the autumn and store them somewhere cool and dry? That's one thing that puts me off trying to grow them. The rose is a really nice colour and the lilies look amazing. I don't recognise the purple flowers, they look like they are grown from a bulb.

Nope. I dug up 90% of my dahlias a few years abck and lost every 1 of them. I was gutted.
All I do is leave them in the ground. If they live they live. So far leaving them in the ground and tubs I've lost none.
Yes the purple things are from bulbs and I have no idea what they are. They were as big as a pea and when they seed I grab the seeds and scatter them all over my beds. Had 3-4 few years back and now have about 30-40. Be digging them up soon and putting them all in 2-3 tubs so I know where they all are for next year. Comprehensive Account Security
