Garden Bloggers Bloomday May 2019



















Hello and welcome to GBBD where gardeners around the world post what is blooming in their gardens. I haven't posted for a while because I have been very busy trying to get the tea garden ready. The washroom is almost completed and the pergola and seating area are nearly done. 
The island is going through a very severe drought. We in the north have not had a good downpour since January.  It is hot and dry. Some other parts of the island have been getting frequent showers except those of us in the north. Sigh!!! However I still get excited whenever I see a dark cloud overhead only to be disappointed when it quickly moves out to sea. 
I have been invaded by monkeys this year. With the prolonged drought they are hungry and have taken over my mango trees. We have a very serious problem with the green monkey as their numbers have increased and are posing problems for farmers as well as homeowners.

Hello and welcome to GBBD where gardeners around the globe post what is blooming in their gardens. Yesterday we had a day of rain after a long dry spell.  It felt good! 
I have been trying to grow some Matthiolas aka night scented stocks  and I cant get them to bloom. I have lost several but these here are holding on. Anyone who has had experience growing these please drop me a line on how to get them to bloom.

 Hello and welcome to GBBD where gardeners around the globe post what is blooming in their gardens. 
There is a lot blooming at the rustic Bajan garden today. Sunflowers, Zinnias, Gaillardias, Celosias are in bloom. The Royal Poincianas are coming into bloom around the garden. I picked my first dragon fruit today and mangoes are falling. The drought is still on with sporadic rainfall around the island.
