They look so snug and cosy. 💚 Almost feel bad for waking them up…

Another day. Tis morning,and it's wet...

Off to the dump with a van load of hedge trimmings this morning.

Two big bags of the type you get gravel and sand delivered by the ton.

Its no womder the council here does not pick up garden waste. If I were to do the whole garden I'd fill a good bit of one lorry. (Probably).

Autumn leaves are gonna be a bastard. I can see I'm going to have to buy a blower.

A bit of tooth: first, Nepenthes diatas, a Sumatran species that should get more attention than it does for its deep red traps and stripey toothy peristome. Tooth density and length rivals villosa even, though the rib size doesn’t.
And then two close relatives, both awaiting a repot here: N. hamata and nigra.

Die Tomaten- und Chili-Pflanzen haben sich sehr gut etabliert, sogar die Tomate, bei der der Wurzelballen "abgefault" war, hat sich durch erneutes, tiefes Einsetzen erholt.🤞
Natürlich hinkt ihr Wachstum etwas hinterher.

Neben den Gewinner-Sorten aus dem letzten Jahr (sibirisches Birnchen, gelbes Würmchen) eifern nun diese um unsere Gunst: 😇 😉

San Marzano
Humbolti
Lange Lore
Vivagrande
Rote Spitzel
Golden Current
Philamina (der kleine Fehlstarter mit dem beeindruckenden Kampfgeist)

Vashon garden's part 8. Lastly, a stop at tiny village of Dockton, once a bustling fishing and canning facility, now has only a few historic homes left. One of them has a lovely windswept cottage garden overlooking the harbor.

Vashon garden's part 7. The plant collection here is tremendous. Photo 1: Tradescantia 'blushing bride'. 2: Dracunculus vulgaris, voodoo lily or corpse lily, smalls like rotting meat when it first blooms (and oh could you smell it here). 3: Bletilla striata or hyacinth orchid.
