These have been keeping themselves to themselves but now we have some development. Our last remaining chillie plant has flowers!

The smaller sunflowers in the front garden seem to have grown rather large and are swamping the small apple tree - whoops. I suppose in sunflower terms they are still quite small.

I sent off for these from the BBC Gardener’s World which were free of charge with the magaine (I just paid P&P). They arrived by post and I have potted them up and kept them in doors. I will prepare some ground in the front garden for them.

Out of all the large sunflowers, there were two that never really grew. One just seemed to not do anything, while the other one I planted quite late and so I suppose it never really was going to do too much. But even so, while we have been wowed by the large ones, the small tiny ones have flowered too and they are just as good and impressive, if just a little bit smaller.

The flower seeds that I sowed late and didn’t really know if it was a bit too late have shown that actualy I think it was a bit too late! Between the heat, lack of water, and the cats, a lot have not really made it. They all came up but the cats decided it looked like a good toilet and so we lost loads. The ones that have made it have come up but are small and their flowers are coming out and so I looks like that is as large as they are going to go.
But no worries.

We have two above the fence, two that didn’t really do anything, and the rest that are fine. Two have now finished flowering. The smaller ones in the front garden are starting to flower and their different appearance (ie not just plain yellow) will make an interesting display once they are all out.

We spent the morning harvesting the black currents off our one and only bush. Mind you, there were a lot to pick (about two big bowl fulls) and so many really large and juicy looking ones. I have frozen these, but I may well defrost some at the weeknd as we might very well make blackcurrant ripple ice cream - yum.

The small bed that I have made for these sweetpeas really is not deep enough I don’t think for sweetpeas and so we are growing by very slowly and I don’t think they will get anywhere near the top - but when they do flower they will flower all the same and look quite nice.
