A happy thread - post what you’ve picked!

Does this count?

I m another who doesn’t pick the flowers unless they blow over of something ioo

Here’s my pic

Bees will keep moving!

what lovely bouquets, I have none to show, as they have all finished flowering with the hot weather.Sometimes I do pick some for the house but sadly they are wilted two days later.

One of two sweet pea vases. They’re nearing the end, I’m afraid the hot spell has affected them.

Picked from my garden.

Ooh, lovely flower pics but I can't really post a photo because I don't pick flowers for the house. But I've had a good crop of tomatoes this year, an excellent crop of blackcurrant (made jam with them) a good crop of peas (but I ate them) and the mini cucumbers are just beginning to start fruiting again after I disastrously over watered them.

Wow, thanks everybody, those lovely pictures have cheered me up. I’m very impressed with your allotment pickings SpringyChicken!

I don't pick flowers. I have a good view of some of them right outside my living room French window, so can enjoy them until the first frosts.

Oh I can’t bare to pick my flowers , if they get blown over or something I stick them in water ! But not pick them on purpose !

aggie I don't pick mine either, unless like you mentioned, they get broken. but those photos posted are all very lovely. thanks for sharing.

Lovely photos, thank you

I don't seem to have many flowers to pick in the garden but we do have a lot of lavender which the bees are enjoying.

We've picked (and eaten or frozen) lots of fruit and also courgettes and one runner bean!

I’m jealous. It is Winter here and not much is flowering except the bright yellow wattle trees look lovely. One daffodil is out in our front yard, however.

I was lucky enough to bag some lilly bulbs at the end of the season sale.
This is how they turned out.
I have quite a few cream ones in bud at the mo, so looking forward to them, as the garden is mostly summer bedding now. With the exception of sweet peas and tall daisy flowers (luc-something, foggy brain)

No pic..sigh

Nowhere near your crop SpringyChicken but I will be picking more of these very soon.

I leave mine in the garden.

Only a small bunch because I want to take a larger one to DD’s tomorrow.

Lovely pics!

Beautiful flowers and beautifully arranged. I love a vase full of flowers especially if they’re from my own garden

A few clippings from my garden….

Here's my offering.

You’re absolutely right Shirley48, I didn’t pick up on that. I found it on the Active list. My apologies Casdon. Lovely flowers nevertheless. I’ll have a wander around my garden and may return later with a photo.
