Well yes I’m sorry but as my garden is in a bit of a state I struggle to find decent garden blogs. Life is a rush these days & gardening has to come 2nd to my family as they are more demanding than my plants!!

Soooo…today hubby & I actually spent some time together tidying up for winter & just before my brother rang to say could I do Mum’s lunch today as he had to cut back some roadside hedge that the Council was screaming at him to sort out. He usually does Sundays for me so I can have a break from caring….but not today!

Ok…so cats first …goes without saying…in the morning…

Let me in…

Not posing any more…

Morning from the bedroom window…

Then I got stuck in to planting up some winter pots…

Put Michael’s frogs in the greenhouse for safekeeping…


Made a bit of a mess for hubby to clear up..

And the time was…

The berberis has some berries on it now…

Some upside down sedum…gone a lovely deep red…

Dunno how this snuck in…?!! ;o) But I cleared the tomatoes out of the greenhouse & left the MGs to fend for themselves!

So we’re in for some green tomato chutney methinks…

The front sedum with the acer..both blushing with autumn red…

And the laurel is flowering…pretty little white spikes…

The last glad is picked & indoors for us to enjoy…

This cyclamen has been a bit ‘touched’ by frost & is struggling to keep it’s colour…

But our front door is a bit more colourful now…

Then the Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance went over…

And a hot air balloon!…not quite as fast!!!

The rose is still blooming…

Black grass never changes…

Hibiscus indoors flowers on & on bless it!

And the last of the fuschias still flushing pink…

Oh…and more mess!


Hope you are all having a nice Sunday.xx

P.S. Egg cup blog on hold ’till next weekend!

18 Oct, 2009

 

Sorry Swanky...does that mean you only read gardening blogs? Just wondered.

18 Oct, 2009

 

Glad you liked it Tulsalady...it was good to get out there & tidy up a bit!

18 Oct, 2009

 

family first garden second,
Surely it should be the other way round Fluff ?

18 Oct, 2009

 

All looking all so neat and tidy Fluff - I am very envious!! And love those cyclamen - they do give lovely splashes of colour don't they.

18 Oct, 2009

 

It looks very good Fluff I love the red of the sedum under the red of the acer

18 Oct, 2009

 

your garden looks all neat & tidy fluff job well done

18 Oct, 2009

 

Hey hey...tried that Blue spruce but they weren't having it!!
If I didn't do Mum's meal she'd still be sat there,tummy rumbling, until bedtime!

Thanks Alz, Denise & Joan...the cyclamen are so reasonable to buy but they are prone to going mouldy around the base...I'll have to keep an eye on these. The acer & sedum are just the best things for colour at this time of year.

18 Oct, 2009

 

Well done, Fluff - you DID manage to get some gardening done! :-))

18 Oct, 2009

 

Enjoyed your garden its lovely,Like Drc726 the sedum and acer look good together. I also liked the morning sky.

Wonderful stroll around your garden ...can't do much here with all the rain...so it is nice to be inspired to work from going throught your garden with you!

Wish i had such a neat and tidy space! good work!

Glad you manged to fit a bit of 'me' time in out in the garden and how lucky you are to have someone to tidy up after you! Lovely to see what's going on in your garden and a glimpse of blue sky too, not very much of it around here today.

18 Oct, 2009

 

Thank you folks...no rain here...a lovely sunny day tho' chilly. One end of the garden was 48 degrees (old money) & 58 on the decking where there was sun all day.
Some days I find it hard to find the motivation to get on with things but today was quite productive!

Nice little walk around the garden there Fluff. I know how hard it is to find the time to do anything these days as time is taken up so easily and just disappears before you know it.

Still, nice to see some of your garden again and here's to a great 'Gardening Year', next year!!
