More photos and news

The day after the photo of Jenni was taken, it was dug up by the Foxes, I was not happy, so planted some more Atlantic Giants. It could be too late but they seem to be doing OK. Frankie is doing well and this morning showed its first female flowers. If you look at the back you can also just see a male flower.

Jenni was replanted and seems to be growing but I wouldn't be surprised if it dies.

The photo on the right shows the patch, some of the new Atlantic Giants are already planted out and seem to be doing OK. The other smaller Plants are Son of Pumpy and again seem to be growing. Atlantics have yet to be named but this week I have had news of the death of a very dear friend of mine so one will be named "Eddie"after him. Other deaths recently mean that some of the others will be named "Ricky" and "Frobush" after Jonothon Smith whose posts on WoS usually made me smile!

On the left is Invincible which has been thriving in its new home.










And on the right is Timur. This plant has already had a male flower out, no sign of females yet. But there is still time. I really should pick up that fried chicken box.








And here is another Son of Pumpy.
The fence thing was built for the sole reason of letting plants grow up it. This one seemed to have missed the message and is growing the wrong way! The Loofah next to it isn't doing so well, but here is no time left for this so it will have to wait until next year.
