A much improved night; its amazing just how much more is about after a short run of warm days. Though it seems it could be short lived as the wind and rain sweep back in. It was joked at the end of April/start of May that Summer was over and in hind sight the statement was pretty much correct as the weather has been a lot colder/wetter/windier than normal. Perhaps a so-called 'Indian Summer' can lift our spirits and list totals.
Anyway, the upshot was that important gaps were filled. With the afore mentioned in a previous post- Burnished Brass, finally making an appearance. NFYs totaled 3 of which 2 were brand new for the garden.
Trent's earlier fertile run seems to have fallen on stony ground and a trip to the offy now looks inevitable (again!). I say again.......he still hasn't obliged me from last year's wager. So heres a few photos, not including a pristine garden 1st Ypsolopha sequella that escaped my camera this morning!
