This crabapple is spectacular at the moment - it is so laden with fruit as are both the (dogsbum) trees. Still loads of apples and pears too. I have finished clearing the raised beds in the vegetable garden and now I need to clear the path fully and then top up the beds with compost, leaf mould and seaweed before a thick layer of cardboard to try to help keep the bindweed at bay. It will look spectacular next year. So glad to be able to garden again after my knee replacements. Thank you to my surgeon Dan Williams at the Duchy who signed me off yesterday and assured me I was ‘ahead of the curve’ in my recovery. I’m so excited for the garden next year.

Despite my almost criminal neglect in terms of deadheading (which I have just remedied) and indeed most other care of them, my dahlias continue to provide me with flowers by the armful. They are so delightful and I don’t actually deserve them this year!

Although my garden is looking very ‘end of season’ and a bit neglected and drought impaired these two towers of thumbergia outside my studio have flowered prolifically since May and are still going strong. No dead heading just a bit of feed every now and then. They are definitely going to be my plant of choice for these pots next year.

The blackbirds and squirrels will be happy that the Cornus Capitata (Himalayan strawberry tree) fruits are ripening.

I am only watering pots in this heatwave so the potager is really suffering. My dahlias are quite stunted and a bit frazzled but they are doing their best and still looking lovely. Sweet peas are still flowering - I can’t believe they haven’t fried and the echinops is very happy. It’s all looking lovely despite the fact that it could probably all do with a big old drink.

Look at this yummylicious colour combination! And the fragrance……..swoon

Two pics today. My favourite place to sit at the moment surrounded by colour and perfume and Rosa Hyde Hall going crazy and just loving this heat. Look at all those blooms!

The Italian garden is looking and smelling very Mediterranean in this beautiful sunshine.
