This is our first Blue rose of this Summer. I bought this rose bush as a present for Margaret about six years ago and we have had some marvellous blooms over the last few years. The blue refers to the dark purply pink colour of the petals and it was the nearest thing to a true blue rose avavilable at the time.
The clematis is still thriving, but it is coming to the end of the flowering cycle.
The plant in the picture on the above right is a potted Lilac bush that is three years old now.

The allotment is showing signs of accelerated growth and the weather has improved enough to allow the plants to thrive. I have transplanted most of my baby brassica plants into the beds and I will be passing on the spares to my friend Tony.
The upturned yoghurt pots showing in the photographs do a fine job of supporting the nets I need to put over the baby plants to protect them from the attention of the birds. Then unfortunately I also have to add a liberal dash of slug pellets to protect them from being eaten by slimy visitors overnight.
All for for the superb taste of home grown vegetables :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
