First of the daisies, last of the marigolds

The Swan River daisies finally came out this week, but every single one of them is blue -- even the one that grew from seed apparently spilled over from the compartment into which I had emptied the last of the pink seed! Whether we shall get any seed for next year with the flowers opening so late I don't know.

Meanwhile the marigolds have almost all finished and died back for the year, although a couple of small self-sown plants from the earliest batch of seed-heads have not only grown to several inches high but also started to develop flower-buds -- we may yet get a second generation of marigolds within a single growing season.

The chillies are covered in flowers and setting a good deal of fruit, but no sign of that ripening as yet. On the other hand the tomatoes are ripening the last of their fruit, with the upper trusses of the Roma tomatoes starting to turn a respectable red.
