What a lovely colour the icecream is

[Snoop Puss]

I agree with CG, that ice cream looks gorgeous. Jam looks good too! But that ice cream... beautiful!

I will try not to eat them all at once 😁

And something flowery

[Snoop Puss]

I can't claim any credit for these: the trees did everything on their own. They're known locally as andrinas or endrinas, which would normally translate as sloes. Clearly not those. Cherry plums or perhaps even mirabelles, but they're very small, not much bigger than a marble, most of them. Much paler in real life than in the photo.

CG, that clematis is a gorgeous colour. What variety is it? I've been looking to get a late flowering purple clematis to grow amongst my winter flowering one, which at this time of year always has its own private autumn and drops all its leaves before regrowing in September.

The colour is deceiving its more blueish, its durandii.
I have another that's late flowering I will put its pic on too, not sure of its name though and that's purple but looks pinky in the picture.

Well, I went to the GC today looking for a purple flowered clematis and couldn't find one, in fact they only had about half a dozen which surprised me as usually there is a whole stand of them. I also had a fancy for a couple of astilbes for my shady back garden, none to be seen. Indoors, the seed racks had gone too. Surely they are not already making space for the C-word displays? There were some reduced C-word decorations out, but nothing I liked. I like elegant, these were in-your-face.

But I digress - mooching around looking for the plants, I arrived at the hospital corner - everything half price - and there in among lots of common type shrubs were two clematis, Comtesse De Bouchard, a pretty pink, and John Paul II, creamy white with a pale pink stripe. Their leaf tips were crispy but otherwise both seemed OK, not big but roots out of the bottom of the pot. The two for £8.50. They came home with me

Mothhawk try Morrison's for your purple clematis I have two lovely purple colour e ones growing through a tree and both from Morrison's and remember their names but remember price £1.50p both growing well, funny how I can't remember the names but can remember the price

Lovely Peanut

[Peanut]

Thank you Containergardener isn't it lovely, how a little harvest of our own produce makes us feel so happy!

[Containergardener]

It is, its a boost isn't it.
