Lost a plum tree and many perennial plants - am looking at S. African plants for the replant. However the fig tree unfortunately has gone from strength to strength. Ann

Throw me over an onion, Didder, there's a love, I want to make a stew:-)))

Hi Ben, Considering the intense swealtering heat we have experienced recently, I'd say my garden is just about holding up. The Budlia was beautiful this year and attracted tons of butterflies. I have had to cut it back now that the flowers have gone, as it was taking over the whole of the patio. The Passion flower has excelled itself too, it must be all of 30 feet long now along the trellis. I planted a cherry tree last year which is doing very well after a spot of black fly was eliminated.............no blossoms yet though, perhaps next year? A couple of bushes, didn't like the sun and heat at all and began to turn brown and go all papery.............I think the recent rain is helping them recover though. My pansies were glorious as ever...........they seem to survive for much of the year round. Jen

Dreadful! Our resident family of ground hogs managed to negociate the wire fence and ate the half grown veggies. Stronger fence and removed the ground hogs. Growing nicely then had a storn with golf ball sized hail that almost finished everything off, huge holes in the cabbages and every apple looks as though you hit it with a tennis raquet. Apart from that the grass has forgotton to stop growing, Lucky to have a greenhouse so the tomatoes were fine.
