A mixed bag of updates …….
1) Buddleia Purple Chip. Just beginning to bloom and I think earlier than in previous years. Bees and butterflies really like it. It’s from a range of dwarf growing habit Buddleia so may look to getting two others in the range at some stage. Although, I have been doing some “cheque book gardening” as we’ve bought three Buddleia of the same variety, more on that in the coming weeks.

2) Plumbago or Leadwort. This stunning blue flower is amazing and a favourite colour too. I think it’s a little early flowering too, this is the only stem flowering at the moment. Look forward to many more.

3) Olive. This is quite exciting as I can see many possible olives to come to full fruit.

4) Allium. Getting a few of these flowers through from time to time. Welcome bit of colour and the petals are rather paper like to the touch.

5) Tomato Marmande. Hurrah a tomato is growing. Will we get to a full size tomato and ripe too. Just have to wait and see.

6) Hydrangea Vanille Fraise. The colour change is continuing to give a wonderful display from this

That’s my Six on Saturday for this week. It’s a very big thank you to the one and only Jon The Propagator for his amazing idea it was to create Six on Saturday. Each week it brings more and more Six on Saturday blogs. If you want to know how to go about it all then take a look at this blog Six on Saturday – a participant guide. Until next week keep safe but enjoy whatever you do. Also, hoping the storms don’t batter all you gardeners wonderful gardens.
The blue of that plumbago is stunning.

That hydrangea is prevalent in today’s posts and is always lovely to see. Congratulations on your baby olives!

The colour of your plumbago jumped at my eye – such a wonderful strong blue. We have one here and it is a light blue, “baby blue” is how Mary describes it. Ours is in a pot brought into the glasshouse for winter protection.
