Whilst many plants flower in the spring, there are those that wait until the late summer to bless us with their vivid colours. One of those stars is Rudbeckia or 'black-eyed-susans'.

Native to North America, Rudbeckias have gained popularity due to their long flowering season that lasts from July to October. Although yellow is the prominent colour, in recent years numerous red- and orange-flowered varieties have been produced extending their colour palette.

Rudbeckias are easy to establish, naturalize well, and require little maintenance other than deadheading. They'll thrive in full sun or partial shade and in moisture retentive, free draining soils. If clumps get too big for their space, consider dividing them in spring.

Traditionally used in cottage and informal gardens, we think they'd look great in large patio containers, especially in town and courtyard gardens.

Virtually pest free, they're very attractive to bees, who love their black cone centres which are full of nectar. They also make a great cut flower, offering a cheery welcome in your home 🌼🌼🌼

With all the sunshine we're experiencing, we hope that everyone's pumpkins and other squashes are growing well! πŸŽƒ πŸŽƒ πŸŽƒ

Under normal seasonal conditions, now would be the best time for gardeners to remove excess leaves to help ripen them off. However, with the unusual heat we've had this year, it maybe worth delaying that as the leaves will offer some protection. β˜€οΈβ˜€οΈβ˜€οΈ

The same would apply to tomatoes and soft fruits if you're looking to harvest a bit earlier but I think the priority at the moment is efficient watering in the late evening or early morning to help sustain the crop πŸ‡πŸ…πŸŽƒ

How's your kitchen garden or allotment going? We'd love to hear what strategies people are taking to maintain their crops, so leave a comment below and share the knowledge ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Did you know that Catharanthus, aka Madagascar periwinkle, has many medicinal properties and is currently being researched for its cancer fighting properties?

Amazingly, it is likely that plants like Catharanthus are not particularly exceptional in the natural world. As time moves on, it becomes clearer every day that the natural world harbours a wealth of invaluable resources for humanity. We have merely scratched the tip of the iceberg.

Is it me or do Cactus Dahlias look like exotic sea creatures?

Whilst they may look like they're not of this earth, this type of cactus is super simple to look after, and treated well, will bloom again in following years.

We recommend that they have a deep watering 2 to 3 times a week, and an application of a high potassium feed every few weeks during flowering. Tomato food or Westland Boost is ideal for this as it will fuel flower growth and prolong the show after dead heading.

Similar to other Dahlias, dig up the tubers in late autumn and store in a semi-dry compost over the winter and then replant the following year!

Only plastic pots? Because I don't like plastic. Any other materials for options?
