Yellow in the Yellowbelly County

Yellowbelly - a term sometimes used to describe a person from Lincolnshire.
The derivation is lost in the mists of time. Some ideas here on Wikipedia.

Yellow flowers spotted yesterday.

 Firstly the Ice Plant shown a few days ago.
An excellent ground cover plant very tolerant to drought:

Another excellent ground cover plant, drought tolerant:
A Sedum but I forget which:

Dandelion. Loved by insects and the bane of many a gardener:

Buttercup. Far too many in my lawn. As a child did you ever hold one under someone's chin to see whether the reflected yellow Sunlight showed they liked butter?

My tomato plants flowering nicely:

Lincolnshire wouldn't be the same without its glowing fields of Oilseed Rape:

Growing

In spite of the weather having slipped back from Spring to Autumn plants are still growing.

Outside the greenhouse a couple of troughs of Dwarf French Beans 'Slenderette' are starting to poke through.  I grew some of these last year and they gave a lovely heavy crop:

Also outside, but not photographed is a trough of spring onions.

Inside the greenhouse.

Growing

There are quite a few large frog tadpoles swimming round the garden pond:

My one and only large strawberry plant grown from seed continues to develop:

Early strawberry plants (Vibrant), bought bare root and listed as fruiting next year, are producing flowers for this year:
