Remember, remember...my garden in November

Wow... you have lots of fabulous flowers in your garden. I really enjoyed looking at your photos :o)

Lovely photos S, your reasons for not wanting to put your garden to sleep are pretty evident...:)

Wow - wonderful!

Some things just go on and on. It would be a pitty to cut them away. I'm glad you're enjoying them as long as they last

Incredible to see these still in bloom in November ... I love the white Hydrangea . . . . .

Having lupins and foxgloves now is remarkable. And so many other beauties, too. Your garden is surely not ready to go to sleep yet. Enjoy it for a while longer?

Plenty of colour still in your garden Scottish. Same thing happens to many other Scottish garden from what I can see here. It appears to me that many plants flower longer in Scotland that here in the south.

Gosh you do have a lot still in flower, I wouldn`t put any of them to bed Scottish, you enjoy them as long as possible.. Lovely photo`s...

I agree dont cut them!!!!! lovely pics heytttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp0o ooops Suki just walked over the lapyop lol

Wow! So many lovely flowers

Keep those secateurs away for the time being and enjoy for a few more days at least. Have just made a list for my next excursion to GC. from your pics.

Wow what an amazing show for November. Don't blame you for not wanting to 'put the garden to be' Enjoy the colour while it lasts, all too soon it'll just be a distant memory.

I should enjoy them while you can, we could get an almighty frost which would soon put an end to all that beautiful colour, so keep the secateurs away a while longer.

I think its to do with the proximity of the Gulf Stream to Western Scotland - its warmer up there.

Warmer in Scotland? LOL!

Wow Scottish. Dont blame you for not putting them to bed. Your vagabond clematis is fantastic - going onto my wish list and nice to see your foxglove mertonensis, (strawberry foxglove) because I'm growing some from seed. Hope mine looks half as good as yours!

I don't have as much colour in my garden Scottish. I do have a very green garden for November. It is so mild at the moment!!!!!!! I have added Achillea Lachsschonheit to my wish list for next year.

Leave them all alone till spring - much more fun for the birds and wildlife anyway, and some of the dead flowerheads will look fabulous rimed with frost... Just a suggestion, not an instruction, lol.

Really enjoyed your blog. Love your flowers!

What a wonderful show you still have, this has gone on to favourites so that I can look back come spring ready for plant purchases.

I can't believe you've so many left, amazing...I've just been clearing around mine that are still growing, trying to enjoy them to the last...
Nice blog...

Goodness me, so many nice comments.
Thank you all very much. I am looking forward to comparing this time next year.
It seems to be unanimous that I should leave well alone....that's exactly what I will do!
It will be fun to see just how long they do last....
My rather disappointing Gladioli now have around 6 huge flower heads - too much to ask I think :))
Thank you all again x

lovely photos scottish ;o))

Thanks Sanbaz :)

Seing how many blooms have survived in your garden, can I ask where the little Kittens are doing their mischeif at the mo lol...:)))

Beautiful stuff... and I am so surprised by those November foxgloves! :D

Lots of lovely photos

Wow! So much still going on there Scottish. I love the clematis of course....isn't it great when you get late flowers on them. My Josephine has not produced a single bloom this year. I have no clue what is wrong with her...but fear she may have hit builders' sand :( Oh well, there's always next year! Cracking photos!

Crissue...not too many beasties flying around for them to catch....on to bigger and better things - mice in the field!!
Much more fun to play with :)) Although Chip, still scared of his own shadow very rarely leaves the comfort zone of the garden. Which reminds me I have a cracking picture of him displaying his hunting skills.....not!! Must post it on.
Tralmander, plenty surprises in the garden. My gladioli flowers burst through today!
Thank you Clarice
KS....I have 2 Josephines the other was a disaster!! You live on a new estate don't you.....the issue with the shallow soil is quite common is it not? Did you enjoy your break?

Yes we do and yes I did! :)))) Thanks!

think we all having our flowers longer this year mine are still in flower never had them before as long your pictures are lovely i would enjoy them as long as you can as i will be :0)

Hi Sc this is wonderful to see yes enjoy and leave for a long as you can .

Thank you Kimola and Scotkat :)
