Around my garden Mid October

Lovely blog Angie and so much still in flower. I have to admit to leaving my garden till spring apart from the bits I can reach easily, but even those bits have have come back into flower this year. Which Persicaria do you have hun? It is beautiful :o)

Great collection of flowers you certainly have a favoured spot. I think the Gods must have a special interest in your little bit of Heaven.

No wonder you're not "chopping", Scottish . . . what an amazing amount of colour still in your garden. So glad you opted for a V. 'onondaga' - I'm sure you won't be sorry!

You've got interesting plants, and they are lasting well :o)

What a wonderful collection of plants and still strutting their stuff. Like you Scottish I keep putting off `the chop` although it must be done before I get caught out.

I have the same dilemma but yours is looking much better than mine. enjoy it while it lasts the winter is around the corner :o))

Your garden is looking great. I like your colour combinations. Its a wonder the east wind has not had more of an effect but you are fairly sheltered. Long may the good weather last. I put a lot of my seed pots which I sowed at the beginning of February out of the greenhouse so I could do some tidying up. They got a good soaking and some of the ones I thought were not going to show until next year have started to throw up leaves. That K. Bees Lemon is gorgeous.

Your garden looks like in middle of summer Scottish. Lots of colours. I would not chop them either. I cannot believe how many plants of yours are reblooming. Love your Clematis Josephine.

Isn't it great? So much colour...I hope it lasts a while longer yet? My rose 'warm welcome' has just started it's second spurt of flowering. In fact all my roses are doing a second flush now, which is lovely. never mind...you'll get your big autumn chop done...probably in November??and that will make the winter seem a little shorter. :)

I know exactly what you mean, I have not started yet because of the same reason. Plants are still showing some colour, only the daylillies have finished, getting straggly. I am loathed to chop them out as it makes the border look so bare and of course they are supporting other plants and helping things keep standing up for longer. Have been out though and moved a cotoneaster which is full of berries I could not see it where it was from the house. I had just the right place where I could see the colour from the window when it is cold and miserable outside. Hope I haven't done it harm, ah well if it dies off I shall replant with something else. Just another excuse to go to the g.c. lol.

Love all the colour you have still in your garden Scottish it looks great, thanks for the pictures :O)

Your garden is still looking great! I've not chopped mine either, apart from pulling up the sunflowers which were looking a bit bedraggled. It's still all looking good and the fuschias are putting on a good show, better than they did in summer!

Looking at your photographs it is hard to believe we are in the middle of October, you certainly cannot start a big chop down yet!! you do have a lovely collection of plants and they look so healthy, super blog.

Hi Angie..
your garden is looking lovely ...
lots of interest for this time of year. :o)

Everything is looking so richly coloured and so healthy. It has been such a wonderful year in the garden and plants have continued to look at their best for a long time. I LOVE your rose and its foliage is perfect for it.

No chopping yet!!!

Thanks you all for your lovely comments. Weather has taken a wee turn for the worse and I suspect it won't be long till it's all gone over!

I'm sure it will look good for a while yet,Scottish..if we don't get frost..it's been a lovely warm day here ..a pleasure to be outside ..a bit of chopping here and there,but still lots of colour ..love your Clematis and Persicaria..all of it in fact :o)

A little late lol?:-) I wonder if we'll have such an Indian summer this year:-)
