Today in the Garden

I can see we are all starting to get ready for the autumn didnt the summer go by quickly [summer???]
I cleared all my dahlias from under the front room window ready to put my Penstemon in,I only tried these last year for the first time and was pleased with the show they gave
I am going to leave my large dahlias in the borders for a while longer
Some of the baskets in the back have been emptied and violas put in with winter pansies
I aggre Pal I think the birds will have a good feed on your berries before xmas I think
This is one of three chilean glory vine I have trained around willow type wigwam only first year so I am pleased with them

 

Going to harvest my Butter Nut Squash (Thanks Shinney!!!) when the first frost is forecast. There are a few that are still showing a touch of green. First year growing them :thumb:

 

All I did today was plant a honeysuckle up against the bare fence. I do hate bare fences.

 

Not a great deal happened in the garden today, but a Robin perched itself on a slender branch sticking up in front of the kitchen window. From it's response, I'd say that it saw its reflection and became irritated, then flew off to land under the ash tree. Some apples that I picked the other day, from my very first crop, we made into a spicy apple and Raisin pie, some of which we ate this evening. It was delicious!

 

In front of the window looks bare after taking up the dahlias still have some inthe middle and in the border





violas in baskets

sorry about that?
still some life left

 

just going in for a cup of tea

 

Looking good there nathan... very good.
Nothing in the garden for me today, been feeling a bit low today.
besides its been raining nearly all day!!
Yes.. at last we have some rain

 

Thanks for sharing the photos of your lovely garden, Nathan. Ididn't go into the garden at all today. It was far too wet to enjoy it.

 

Thank you Nathan, your garden is looking full and lovely there, it looks quite big?
I do wish I had more space but it''s amazing what you can do with a small space!

Love the pics.

 

Nothing happening in the garden today, Im not even picking the plants up that the 70mph winds have blew over lol..

 

WoW Pal, your Holly is Stunning :gnthb:

 

Jazmine the garden is not that big really it is just me I put things in all over the place even in the hangers I sometimes have things not related to basket gardening but I think that is the enjoyment of experimenting new plants etc.
I have just taken all the dahlias from the border under the window and put in 6 Penstemon I will take the other dahlias from the middle and border later on

 

Hi Nathan, I totally agree-gardening is about enjoying it. I make lots of mistakes but I enjoy it that's the main thing.
I haven't planted anything today after all as the wind is fierce here.

 

Had time first thing to remove a few finished toms before the big wind started.
Rest of the day was in the garage / workshop to progress my gatekeeper table. For my trouble I head butted the garage door twice when the wind blew it shut. "Ouch" I said, or words to that effect.....
