Thanks Moti..it's nice to look out at,from the window..:o)

Yes..everything in mine is dying off..sad..hate winter.:(

That's a shame,Pixi...did you have mainly spring/early summer flowers ? or has all the rain spoiled your plants..there are lots of knock down prices around..Pelargoniums last till well into autumn sometimes,and some nice small Chrysanthemums for a bit of colour..go on,cheer yourself up,and go bargain hunting! Lol..

Beautiful Bloomer!

he rain has ruined most of my lovely roses and not enough sun for sunflowers and Rudbeckia..still you never know we could have a heatwave in October!lol oh I cnat go plant shopping! I need food! lol

you have had awful weather this year,Pixi..almost everytime I see your weather forecast,it seems to be raining..very disheartening for you and your plants..I see your dilemma..I wouldn't put my plants before food either ! Lol.

That is fab Bloomer - the sedums are amazing - ours have been rubbish. lovely clean pretty area

yeah its been awful..and the very thought of winter coming fills me with dread!
Got food..:)

thanks Paul,it has turned out ok ,after a late start ! My Sedums have done well this year,and much ealier than usual..:o)

You sound as though you have had a good one too..Who the heck is old Annie ? and would that be the "crispy batter" Italian???...It's ok,Pixi..just seen your blog.:o))

Shes an old friend of mine..great lady she is.
No not the crispy batter man..that was in Arbroath lol..fish n chip man..this was proper Italian food..and I'm stuffed! lol

Wow, looking fantastic!

Thank you Bernieh..it turned out better than expected this year..only small,but I still find things to do,and love pottering..or looking for a little space to plant ,or to move something.. ! At least pots help to ring the changes..:o)

Well as a gardener with many, many potted plants, I know exactly how busy you can be looking after them. I think the space looks quite beautiful. I love all the reds and pinks in amongst the various shades of green foliage. The Gladiolus look gorgeous too. I can see them peeking out in the middle there. We call them Peacock Orchids here. Unfortunately mine didn't flower this year. I think the wet season was too much for them.

Thank you,Bernieh..I am trying to have mainly pink ,and toning colours ,in this part..I forgot to move the yellow Dahlia's..:o)I have just seen your comment ,and replied,about the Acidanthera's..it also had Peacock Orchid, in brackets after the name...I will grow them next year,but in pots again..I agree about the wet
weather,..I think a few lost theirs here too..I kept these under cover,till late spring/early summer..

I wish I had planted mine in pots now. That way I could have taken them in during the wet season. I'm thinking of getting some more to pot up now instead.

what a picture!! well done you!

Good idea,Bernieh..I shall take these in too..
thank you Sticki..It's turned out better than expected.:o)

This looks picture postcard perfect Bloomer, a credit to you.

That's nice of you,Stroller..glad you like it..lots of very heavy rain today,the first for ages..so all looking perky..and nothing damaged either..:o)

Added to my favourites as I am looking for inspiration for next years project 'The front garden'.

Thank you,Granny b,that is kind of you..:o)

I'm late to all your pics, Sandra ... but pleased I have viewed them ... this is just so pretty ... everything is looking so fresh and colourful ... the Sedum is a beauty and the Butterflies will love you for planting it! ... :o)

Looking lovely Sandra, love the tubs of Fuchsias they really set everything off.

It does take a bit of catching up,Shirley..but thank you..I am pleased with it,this year..and the Sedum is more vibrant than it's ever been..:o)
Thanks Carole..I love Fuchsias ..hope the cuttings survive this year..The Lysimachia you gave me,was nice this year too..only just finished:o)
