Well the potted lilies are in full bloom, I find that the expensive bulbs are better than the bargain packs - you pay what you get!
Here is a glimpse of our Shark's Fin marrows, climbing up slowly towards shed roof - I'll call them marrows now because it is a vegetable. Four female blooms are already out BUT the male flowers are slow as usual. I managed to find ONE single male yesterday, it will open tomorrow so I am going to give it a good poke with my paint brush! Two of the female blooms have already closed so I am going to opened it up and brush some male pollen inside to see if it's not too late.
They are doing quite well at the moment because my hubby is watering them at least three times each day and using chicken poo as fertiliser. Lily
