Weekend's a scorcher

There is such a thing as too much sun. Ask the carnations that got parched. Hope the drink this morning will have saved it. The saplings and seedlings loved the heat I reckon. Suddenly we have lots of little plants looking all grown up.

Sowed seeds of Giant Sunflower in a pot. Saved some seeds from the African Marigold we had last year. They will need to go in the ground this weekend as well.  

Meanwhile, Mr Macaron is reading the instruction manual for the coal barbecue that will find a place in our garden - can't wait to have all sorts of everything on the coals soon.

In some distressing news, the cruel peach leaf curl has struck again. Pinched away all the infected leaves, which were many, many. The leaves seem to have lost their strength and just come away so easily. The leaves need to be removed but removing so many of them risks depriving the tree of its ability to grow. Hope a spray of the Bordeaux Mix will stem the infection. Very painful.
