Solar lights kicking in (left and centre), barely visible kitchen window border 

Garden under stormy skys, rain pelting down, wind blowing.the white/greys picked up ghostly like 

Dahlia filling up the pot, i love the leafs and the whole shape... 

Stormy thundery sky 

Morning glory engineer corp, sending up tendrils to grapple up the arch way.I may not need to tie string on it again. 

New rose bush, nearly open bloom.The colour is yellow with red streaks down the outer petals.Better pic tomorrow!! 

The heat today

...completely keeled over some of my garden plants.I lost all the red anemones, the trellis morning glories wilted, and the green pot was decimated.I was at work and the heat today was fierce.I have tried some emergency watering to revive.I will look tomorrow at the damage properly after my early shift.
England lost their world cup quarter final today on penalties too.A bad day for my garden, and for the football team.
There is always tomorrow however.I will take stock of the damage and work out which plants need removing etc.
Life goes on even for the garden.The elements disrupt our carefully worked out plans.How to minimise the damage is the ultimate plan.
More plants so massed together?Bark chippings to mulch the roots?It was thirty one degrees C today.Most unlike british weather.
My plants must be so delicate that searing heat knocks their leafs and stems sideways.The night time air is cooler slightly, and brings some relief.more tomorrow...
