I know it's Autumn when....

What a smashing blog Spritz. your garden must look a picture with all those wonderful colours. It is truly a garden for all seasons. Makes me start thinking I should consider Autumn colour more carefully.

Busy time ahead, Spritz....just need the rain to stop...happy bulb planting!

Your photos really show what a beautiful season we are in...love the autumn colours too! Lots of berries for the birds :)

breath taking photos - oh wow - the colours GLOW!

Lovely photos. I particularly like the Clematis tangutica shot.

Lovely blog Spritz.....I do love all the shades of the Autumn.., and I know what you mean about not being able to get out. Been pouring here now for 36 hours solid....tut......Lol

Loved the blog, super pics and captions........OH has planted up three tubs of bulbs, bless!! just got in before the rain. I hope you have better luck this year with your bulbs.

Your photos show us that whatever the time of year and whatever the weather, there is always colour to be found, and where there is colour, there is happiness, joy, smiles and surprises! Wonderful!!!!

Just love that clem seedhead!!!! Great blog Spritz :o)

Nice one Barbara ;o)

What a lovely blog Barbara :o) I do like the autumn. You'r garden must look just as spectacular now as it did in the high summer.

Now you've given me an idea for some things I shall put on that list. - I'll have to move my Cotoneaster hirizontalis to where I can see it better, and find somewhere to plant my Parthenocissus, which has been in a pot for 4 years and doesn't like it there.
I have started to make the list from memory, but it has been raining too much for me to go out and see what really needs doing. I hope I can do it over the week end.
I hope you didn't get the torrential rain we had yesterday.

Very orderly and very cleverly your lovely photos were set up and described.
Wonderful.

Too many lovely pics to pick just one, lovely thoughtful reminder that each season has its beauty. I don't have any asters, and love your Alma Potschke. Does she suffer from mildew? if not ...she's on my little list:-) I have bought some erigeron karvinskianus profusion seeds off Ebay and would welcome any tips on sowing and growing. I haven't opened the packet yet in case I sneeze lol, talk about little seeds!!! I would probably have done better buying a few plants and letting them seed themselves:-)

great blog B and lovely photos :-) hope you get to plant your bulbs today

Thanks, all - I'm pleased that you enjoyed it! Yes, it poured down yesterday, but the sun's out today, so I might get some bulbs in. :-)))

Ba - as my Erigerons seed themselves everywhere, I don't think you'll have trouble in getting them to grow - try adding some dry silver sand to sow them. Alma is a well-behaved lady - she wouldn't 'dream' of allowing mildew to sully her beauty! lol.

Lovely blog and great photos, aren't the autumn colours glorious,it is dry and bright here today but cold.

she's on my little list then. Should i scatter some now or sow indoors in pots?:-)

Try both! If you don't succeed by any chance, give me a yell and I'll dig you up a few little plants.

Stunning pictures as always spritz, fantastic photography.I'm green with envy!
the conker and viola are my favourite, and the clematis, and the...ok all of them. I hope this weekends wind and rain doesn't blow away all the autumn colour.

wonderful Spritz, the blog and photo's are absolutely beautiful

Wonderful splashes of colour to cheer us up, thanks Spritz.

Will do, thanks Spritz;-)

Lovely blog Spritz. :)

Thanks. :-))) My box of bulbs is half empty now! Yayy!!

So you didn't garden by lamplight then Spritz!

this brighted up a rather depressing day here. thanks spritz.

I only planted up containers, not into the soil. The others will have to wait! Anyway, the rain has started again...:-(((( No gardening by torch or anything now!

Beautiful colours Spritz as always for autumn. I see lots of red creepers & trees on the way to work ... lovely to watch them change!

Beautiful array of colours Spritz and the birds are going to enjoy a feast in your garden, the stream wall looks amazing it radiates warmth, just what we need now........

What a lovely colourful blog Spritz. You almost need sunglasses to go out there! Lol

What - in this weather, Ian? I'd probably fall in the stream! LOL.

Thanks, Fluff and Ll...

poring down here too and loads of bulbstoo pan as wel. oh wll at least we can enjoy lovely blogs like this . thanks xx

A lovely blog Spritz, so much colour and beautifully photographed and described. :o))

You're welcome, Cristina, and thank you, Lily. I appreciate that! :-))

Lovely blog, Spritz, and lovely colourful photos too. I like autumn as much as I like spring (and summer and winter!) - hope you soon get better weather to plant your box of bulbs.

Oh, so do I, Gee! I'm glad you enjoyed the blog. :-))

Oh, you mustn't do that Spritz, Henry will jump in beside you! Lol

He sure would, Ian! lol.

Excellent pics Spritz, no shortage of colour. May I thank you for naming the Sedum, I have it too but didn't know it's name.

Glad to be of assistance, Heron! Thanks for the lovely comment. :-))

Your photos just glow! Some of the names helped me out as well ;-)

Is the Berberis thunbergii the picture above or below?

The photo is above the name, Pam - sorry if I confused you!

Glad you liked my photos, though. :-))

WOW !! superb SH , terrific captures. Can I ask what camera you use ?

Hi Bizzybee, thank you. It's a Fuji FinePix F 50, if that means anything to you?

Well it is Friday 8th Oct. and the weekend weather is set to be good. I have really enjoyed your blog Spritz. Your photographs alway put the rest of us to shame. Fantastic!

Thank you, Linda - I enjoy putting blogs together, and it's lovely to hear that people enjoy reading them and looking, too! Not altogether true, though - so many beautiful photos get posted, not just mine...:-))
