September and still looking good.

As cottage garden beds go Lincs I don`t think that one could be beaten and the pond protectors have made such a difference it looks so much better. The apple harvest looks scrumpcious mine haven`t done so good this year.

Lovely! And I do like all your stones next to the pond - all looking great :)

I love your cottagey look garden too,Sue,and all those apples !..shame you have to compost some of them..do the birds like them? mind you,we don't seem to have many about at the moment.or they might attract unwanted guests,I suppose..
At least the garden is winding down now,and you still have lots of colour,so just enjoy looking at it for now..with the odd bit of pottering :o)xx

It all looks great, hope the grass stops growing soon, mine is the same as yours, that is the problem when we get sunshine and showers it keeps the grass growing and we have to keep cutting it. lol. It looks lovely the dogs will soon be out there enjoying it, mine would have jumped the gate by now. lol. Must go and see what he is up to just now. Brilliant blog, lovely garden. :O)

It's all looking beautiful, It's a credit to you that you have managed to produce such a spectacular show, despite your knee problems. It puts lots of others to shame. :)

I love a Cottage Style garden it all looks so welcoming and colourful, no wonder your Doggies are waiting to explore;0) a great crop of apples there too;0))

Your garden is looking great Sue :o) and I do like those Hostas in pots.
I hope you enjoy the apples :o)

Thankyou all, I spent ages sitting peeling and slicing apples for the freezer and of course made us some pies, luckily the ones off the bottom tree will store over the winter so the birds will get a feast, its the bright red Worcesters that won't last, they are delicious to eat though........Its quite daft but a lot of people won't accept apples given freely, they'd sooner buy from a supermarket these days......
