The title of this blog comes from a Gaelic expression -"putting on the poor mouth"-which means to exaggerate the direness of one's situation in order to gain time or favour from creditors.

Garden 22 July
Bumble Bee finding slim pickings from Echinops flowers
Your garden is a thing of envy. My favorite picture is of the Zantadeschia. We just got hit with a torrential thunderstorm, and lightened the humidity considerably allowing me to get some quality gardening time in without dying of heat stroke. I planted a new Cape Honeysuckle and a bright pink Bougainvillea. I'm hoping to have a cute little side garden by next year to place a bench and some stepping stones in the middle and maybe an arbor.
Ah it is the not wife with the green fingers.. Luckily we inherited a garden with much of the framework in place. I added a lot of the older perennials but she grows plants from seeds...We do make a pretty small garden work hard though
Honeysuckles are great but our one just won't flower damnit. A bougainvillea wouldnt last here.. while our climate is mild it is too cold for a plant like that.. Ah well we cant have anything.. Your side garden sounds great.. I look forward to seeeing the pics
