All change!

These photos don't show it but the weather has taken a ridiculous turn for the worse. We are experiencing heavy bursts of rain, thunder and lightening and a wind that whips the tree branches tearing off new lwaves and breaking flower stems. My poor roses! And why do I never get round to staking my plants before they have grown to a vulnerable height?
Strong colours are putting in an appearance now, red, blue and purple, suggesting warm summer days, ha ha!
I went out in a lull of the weather to cut out the damaged and spent flower heads. Some roses behave quite well but others just curl up and sulk when heavy rain hits them. (And I'm a bit the same.)
At least I'm not having to water the allotment!

    It's all or nothing these days. I didn't enjoy the extreme heat, but would welcome a little more warmth now. The rain is welcome, but, please, not in Biblical proportions.

      Sunny days and a good rainfall at night would suit me well. But I didn't mention slugs and snails in my lament about the weather, they would love a wet night! They have devoured my climbing French beans, I've had to plant a fresh batch.

    Your garden still looks like the most wondrous place to me.
    Here, we had 4 inches of rain in 2 days, now into 2 weeks with no rain at all, and hot! Craziness.

      Crazy weather seems to be everywhere. It is supposed to be SUMMER here, for goodness sake! It's not as though we get much of it at the best of times!

    The storms are rough, but your garden seems to keep its charm.
    Those flashes of red and purple are gorgeous.

      Hello Veronica, yes, my garden gives me pleasure whatever the weather, but I would have appreciated not quite so much damage done to my roses!

    I LOST $275,000 USD TO SCAMMER ON FACEBOOK

    I’m one of those few people who invested in the cryptocurrency market and was hoping to make enough profits after my retirement. Unfortunately, I had invested in a platform that was out to steal from me, I lost around $275,000 to this platform excluding the promised profits. I had lost every penny I invested into it including the money I had to borrow from friends. I thought it was all over until I came across a Cryptocurrency recovery expert, jetwebhackers SERVICE, who helped me recover my money from these fake investors. It took jetwebhackers 72 hours to recover my money and I was able to track down these people. I’m truly grateful for their service and I highly recommend them to anyone with the same problem.
