Swift Half update - 12th July 2011

  • Another quickie - our sunflower (largest in neighbourhood) has still to produce a flower, but the stem itself is 8 feet tall now - well over three feet taller than any in the vicinity.
  • Plenty of raspberries in the rear (rear) garden now.
  • Blackberries coming on nicely.
  • Evening primrose now dead (along wth buddleja) but honeysuckle now blooming for the second time this year, after losing all of its original blooms a fortnight or so ago.
  • First yellow leaves on damson trees.
  • Marsh marigold now pretty well died back for the year.
  • Pulmonaria, like a phoenix from the flames has risen from its dead state again (this is normal I hear with this plant).
  • Plenty of comma butterflies in the garden, as well as speckled woods, red admirals and common blues.
