The daffs are showing off with their massive bright heads, and the rhubarb plants are enjoying their new freedom. They've settled in well, and I now realise that rhubarb is pretty hardy. I delayed moving them in fear of killing them, but they seem to be happier than ever, despite my brutal hacking (and it was violent and bloody - I still have the scar). Unfortunately, they now seem to be celebrating by seeding.

The plum, apricot and nectarine trees look beautiful! Oh how I hate my poorly sunned, generally western-facing balcony!
ReplyDeleteThat black pansy is so pretty. My apple tree is doing very poorly this year; we lost a ton of fruit during the heatwave and now they're rotting on the tree before falling. I'm going to have someone give it a proper go-over next spring to trim it into shape so, hopefully, it will not have the same problems.
ReplyDeleteI'd like a fig tree next year.
The black pansies are rarely perfectly black - some mongrel bug always comes and eats or slimes over it. They're beautiful though, aren't they?
ReplyDeleteI think they say you should pick all the fruit and dispose of it so it doesn't get all fungal and infectious.
