The maintenance steps

Haven't had anytime this week to write, but I have been giving some care to the garden. It's been dry lately, and I've been watering by can using weak(ish) miracle gro. The growing season is the time to feed and so i am. The bougies are both beautiful. The purple, as always is foliated and floriferous. the red is putting out some new growth and has had a substantial flush of bracts, which next to the plumeria is very pretty. The white blossoms of the plumeria are simple and lovely.

The bleeding heart which i bought from Leonard was cut back pretty hard (as it should have been for transplanting), it's taking a while to put out some leaves, but the branches are greening up and there are a few leaflets coming out. I'm excited about sprays of bleeding heart pouring over the handrail above the street.

Swept and washed down the tiles after a pm shower.
