Autumn 2011

lovely photo's and so much colour,

You can guarantee late colour from Asters, and you should get some late butterflies. What a lovely collection you have.

Very colourful - good show

Brilliant loads of colour, i am still not able to visualize the shape of your garden,there seems to be paths between various beds,Is it rectangular.

so many flowers, those cyclamen look beautiful ~ i have 2 flowers on mine!!!

You've got lots of colour in your garden for mid September Pcw, lovely. Perennial asters certainly light up the garden, I have small compact ones dotted around, looking at your pics I think mine must be Little Carlow. Found some C coum appearing in a seed tray today, which was nice, must have set them around last Autumn.

Brian-it is rectangular,but not very well 'designed'.Looking south,there is a border on the east sidethat is slowly being made shrubs only.A path runs along side this with an herbaceous border and peat bed on the other side.My raised alpine/tufa bed is next to the peat bed with a bark covered path between,Beyond that is my woodland area which I am slowly extending after clearing a large shed.Along the west boundary is a wall with a mixed border in front.Inbetween are my pond/rockery and dry garden(a 6x8ft version of Hyde Halls).
st-the cyclamen in the container were origionally 4 or 5 plants.Now there seem to be hundreds in there .
Dawn-'Little Carlow' is a bit of a misnomer as it's about 4 feet high.

Ha ha ha, Pcw, not so 'Little' then. Mine can't be Little Carlow as they are only about 12 inches x 12 inches, max.

Lovely Photo`s pcw.....

Lovely show. Is that container a cutdown car tyre ?

dianne-yes it is
