Here we are then me lovelies
and I am a little late as usual.
and I am a little late as usual.
The clocks have gone back an hour this month
(It is not the clock that's wonky but me by the way)
we are indeed in Autumn proper.
This is the Black Walnut tree 'Juglans nigra' at the bottom of next doors garden. It blocks our sun all Summer but is looking rather good at the mo.
We still have plenty of colour though
Our fuchsias' have been so good this year and are still full of flower and going strong.
The ferns have grown well too. I think we need more next year.
Some of the Summer flowers are still hanging on or giving a second flush.
We grew the red New Guinea Impatiens this year as we always do but also this year we had this lovely pale lavender one which has bloomed non stop all year.
Jon has taken cuttings so we hope to have it again next year.
Along with the fuchsias the salvias are looking great and doing a sterling job feeding the bumble bees.
they are the same as last month so click back for the names.
We have no where to protect any thing from frost so it is fingers crossed for our fabulous geranium maderense
No need to worry about the wallflowers and 'forget me nots'
and our stock of Spring bulbs and corms
These are not primroses 'Primula vulgaris' but last years Primula Polyanthus.
But they are still helping me think of Spring even if Winter has not started yet
Till next time then me darlins'

So beautiful and a sight for sore eyes. Over this side of the pond in Philadelphia anyway....our ferns are darkened, summer flowers now stunned from our first freeze and any delicates dead. Our only color now are the jewel tones of the trees, Chrysanthemums and spider mums. and the ornamental cabbage.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy those fuchsias for my dear
Although it seems that much of northern Britain is under water, fingers crossed the harshest weather and frosts won't be here in London for a while... Jx
DeleteHello Mistress. The fuchsias are still doing well in the cold and damp and hopefully will until it is our turn to get the frost.
DeleteIt is indeed a slow decline - let's enjoy the garden's "faded glory" while it lasts... Jx
ReplyDeleteIt is not over till the fat lady sings and then we will have the pansies
DeleteBravo Boys!!!! I agree with Maddie. Here, all of summer is but a memory. Seems odd to see fallen leaves in your garden with flowers still blooming. A spectacular garden. I agree enjoy it's fading beauty.
ReplyDeleteHello Agnes, how lovely of you to pop into our little garden.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words
Faded beauty indeed but we have always managed to have some thing in flower every day throughout the Winter even if we have to rely on the pansies and Primulas.
