Cyn in London: Garden Update

Well, the tomatoes and cucumbers and strawberries are still growing. In addition, new sunflowers have germinated and are well on their way.
See.

There's one flower that I'm particularly waiting to see how it turns out. It's called a "Ladybird" poppy. Ladybird [ladybug] poppies are red with black spots--as you might have surmised from the name. Drama planted several seeds and now there's one surviving plant that is growing nicely.

We've had decent success with the seeds this year. Blondie brought some mystery plants up that she started from seeds--turns out, they're daisies! And are now providing a huge pot of colour and happiness to my patio. They were growing nicely and one night I came home after several days away to see lovely, bright colours bursting from the pot. They made me so happy that I laughed out loud--which only reinforced the neighbours opinions that I'm a crazy person.

Here is Blondie with her flowers!

And here's another shot of them a couple of weeks later... and guest starring is my Sweet Sulley, of course!

They just make me happy!

And of course, you can't NOT know about how well our cucumbers are growing. Here's me being silly with the first two that were harvested! We ate them...and have since harvested 3 more--necessitating the sharing with the neighbours. There will be sharing with those of you here in London...I think we'll soon have more cucumbers than we could possibly eat--so, consider yourself warned!
