October already

Those dahlias are certainly eye-catchers - beautiful. I envy you the phlox; mine have all completely disappeared! The acers are beautiful, too. So happy to hear your good news.
And lots of gardening plans to look forward to in the next few months as well.

Brilliant news re Kim, it must be a relief for you both.
Lots of beautiful flowers in your garden this year. Don't think I can chose a favourite though.

What good news in regard to your wife, Davy! Hope she continues to get better! :)

Your Dahlias are really spectacular - I wish I could say the same about mine! I finally cut them down this morning, they had grow tall & lanky & had had very few flowers. Really disappointed with them as I had saved the tubers during the winter & planted them up again in late spring. I grew them from seed (from Gardener's World mag last year) & I think they had more flowers last year than this year. I'm not going to save the tubers for next year.

Excellent news for your wife, and yourself too! Your photos are delightful.

thanks a lot, the garden has been a great escape for us during the last years and it has been so rewarding to see how it has come on.

I'm pleased your wife had good news about her health, it must be a relief for you both.
Your photos are lovely, I particularly like the Dahlias and I hope my new Helianthemum grows into a nice patch like yours.
I hope your back is better now, we do tend to do too much don't we lol

Well done davey, some great colours you have there, and pleased to hear your good news , the garden is a great place to sooth the soul and escape the strains of life, I am always trying to encourage people with depression and mental health issues to try gardening.

First of all Davey, I am so pleased on your wife's results. I hope it continues.
Your garden is amazing! Are your dahlias scattered all around your garden or do you have one specific spot for them? Rick, my hubby loves them and they are his favourite flower , so you have prompted me to buy more for next year. Not sure where I will put them as my flower borders are full!
I love the very pale blue one! Do you have its name?
Take care and stay safe. x

Davey, I’m so pleased to hear Kim’s good news, it wonderful for both of you! When you mentioned 40 cycles of chemo - my goodness, she has really had the hardest time. She’s been under such stress, please give her my best wishes and thoughts.
Your photos are fantastic as usual!!! Your garden must be a gardener’s dream at the moment! Filled with vibrancy and so colourful too. You’ve a really artistic flair too.
I don’t think I’d be able to choose a favourite, as they are all pretty. Saying that, my eye is drawn to the hot orange and pink tones!
Keep and safe and well out at sea!
Best wishes.

Hi Rose, thanks for that, as for the dahlia's, I just grow the them in one spot, call it me dahlia garden, much to Kim's annoyance, :) :), we are south facing so they do get a lot of sun, the pale dahlia on the white background is Crazy Love, it is a beauty.
Thanks Hywel and Julien, yes the back is ok now until the next time and I so agree with you Julien the garden is a great help when going through a bit of a bad time, I know it has certainly helped us.
Thank you Kate, as with all you lovely people your comments are so much appreciated by the both of us.

Beautiful photographs of beautiful flowers.
Your garden must be such a safe haven for you both during these very hard few years.
Such good news about Kim .
I wish you both all the very best.
