    As summer comes to end I thought I would record a last video for the year. The garden took a battering in the last half of August and the cool weather certainly set things back somewhat. Still its not so bad and the weather is pretty good now for September. Hope you enjoy the videos, I promise they will be no more until next year lol.

      Looking good and a nice selection, are the Washingtonias overwintered in the greenhouse or left outside?

      The one in the ground will be protected the other in the back (potted) will go in the greenhouse. The one on the front will probably take its chances as its heavy, I'll assess it on a day to day basis.

      Here's an update as we move in much more Autumnal conditions, all down hill from here! Could be quite cool tonight now the cold front has moved through and under clear skies.

              Its not been a great summer, but its certainly not been horrendous and certainly nothing unusual. Just normal summer conditions we'd expect in the UK, some cool periods, some wet and some warm or even hot days on a few occasions. Far too much whingeing about the weather, it is what it is. We'd don't live in the Med so where the expectations for endless days of hot sunshine come from I'm not sure. [​IMG]. Anyway rant over, today has been warm and sunny so I've done a video update for the garden. The palms are certainly growing quicker than any year so far as is the Musa Basjoo. I've not had the time I've had in previous years and it is a little rough round the edges. Hope you enjoy the videos and that your gardens are flourishing! [​IMG]
