WHAT'S LOOKING GOOD IN NOVEMBER 2020

Do they come in boxes??

 

Not much left to show now although I haven't had a proper wander round the garden.







Still surviving all over the garden but it has been spreading like mad the last couple of years so Mrs Shiney has filled a wheelie bin with them


Still flowering since Spring 2019


As is this


and this Bowles mauve has been flowering non-stop for three years but getting rather woody now


Heather has just started to flower and will continue to early summer. It spreads like mad and we're forever cutting it back and giving it to people.


We have to take a hedge cutter to it otherwise it blocks the path and the lawn


When I was working I used to give it to some of my Romany customers.

 

A series of little jobs in the garden led to an amble around the garden to see how Winter was taking effect in the borders......
My favourite of all the Hollys is the HedgeHog Holly which has been in the garden for at least 20 years but never got too big although it has had a prune or two over the years.]

I'm surprised that the Lavender is still flowering but I love the scent when you run your fingers
over it.


The Sedum is still providing that patch of colour that we need to brighten up the borders right now


This clump of Cyclamen was the one I thought had no chance in the area underneath the Garrya "James Roof" but they've proved me wrong.


The Garrya "James Roof" putting out it's glorious Catkins which make it such a great evergreen
Shrub


The Knautia is still flowering


The old Bird Bath in the "wilder" part of the borders hasn't needed filling for months.




In the Green House the Bougainvillea just keeps on flowering while I've been feeding it with some ericaceous fertiliser. I did expect that with this cold weather it would have finished but, no, it's carrying on.

 

Good old Rudbeckia "Goldsturm" is still flowering


As is the Hollyhock


The Succulent pots are still fine although I must must move them all into the Green House before the Frosts really arrive.


The Fuchsia in a trough on the Patio is still stubbornly flowering


The Acer "Shin-Deshojo leaves are a lovely Ruby red right now


The Clematis on the Trellis entrance to the garden are still growing and I'm having to duck and weave my way through it






Rose "Masquerade" is still providing a flower or two


There's still a pot or two providing colour on the Patio

 

The half Oak Barrel by the Kitchen Door with the Rose "White Skyliner" in it still has colour thanks to the Cyclamen.


The Mahonia is flowering well and you can smell the scent 6' away.




The only unnamed Rose in the garden is proving it's worth by still providing flowers
