END OF SEPTEMBER GARDEN.

Lovely photo`s Tetra, its a real cheery sight even as the sun is going down. I like the Alstromeria`s`especially the new one and love the shade of that Fuschia, we might have been a bit lacking in June as regards the flowers, due to those weeks without rain but more than making up now....

yes, you had a real dry summer didn't you Lincslass...here a real wet one! September flowers are so precious though aren't they Tet.....I keep smelling the roses....just have to!

Some glorious pictures there Tet.

Oh yes Karen, the perfume is heavenly...

you certainly know how to look after your plants! you have so many lovely things still flowering

Thanks everyone. Ive been enjoying all your plants and gardens too, although Ive been dipping in and out (busy week).
These last few weeks of precious sunshine are not to be sneezed at (tho guess its pretty grotty up north Karen, I do hope you get some good sunshine to end the season).
I sit on my "terrace dahling" pretending its somewhere in the Med..well, on the good days, and in and out depending on showers.

That Chandos rose is fab. Tet. brill photo. Still looks like the garden will go on for a while eh?

Lots of lovely plants there Tet. Is Delta Sarah a hardy fuchsia? I think it is one of the loveliest ones.

Ginellie, it has been in my garden for four years. Planted another out front. Sheltered spot. Mulch for first year. Should be okay. Especially down your way.

Hopefully Grandmage, and I do hope we dont have a 4/5 month winter like 2010/11.

Terrific photos Tet - thanks. And I felt I could inhale the fragrance of Lady Hillingdon - she's gorgeous!

She's a real Lady...always flowers prolifically, trys hard not to get blackspot..doesnt moan when I forget to water and feed her, and doesnt mind my sometimes ragged hair cuts!

Tet some wonderful photos there, so much going on, isn't it wonderful, another month of this weather would suit me just fine, have all the plants potted (well OH has lol) they look good, thanks again.

Thanks DD. And it looks set fair next week too. Hope so, its our 30th WA in early Oct so we are going to have a nice day out somewhere.
Glad the plants recovered, I do so hate lobbing out offcuts that can grow into nice healthy specimens..its criminal when so many people cant afford to buy plants for their gardens. Im sometimes tempted to knock on a few doors where gardens are a mess and offer to stick a bit in the ground..I often wonder if that will get them to take an interest. Praps I should try it lol!

Enjoyed looking at your photos

Thanks Clarice, hope you are feeling better! You always seem to be ultra busy, wouldnt mind some of your energy!!

SO BEAUTIFUL!!

Just gorgeous Tet! My garden is sorely in need of a good prune, as it has been a bit neglected recently, as we have been busy decorating at home... Lovely blog my friend...so nice to see your garden again..\0/x

Have you been enjoying your pretty arbour Flori?

You have reminded me to bring a Wild Primrose home from the allotment and put it in a pot, in the shade.
thank you for that. So much to think about with a container garden. I am so happy now, havent had a proper flower garden for 26 years, but seeing the many photographs of Containers on the Blogs has inspired me to collect them and I feel much better, learning more about plants every day.

I always think growing veg must give you a great feeling of satisfaction and pride, whereas growing flowers feeds the soul!

lost my pentermon , even tho i kept it in the house ........... my rudbeckias too so bought a clump again .................... every thing else seems ok ............ yours is still looking very gud hun ............. jealous of your pentermon hehe o well !!!

Cristina, I leave my penstemons out all year..and apparently (so they say) if you break off some of the new growth in spring and stick it in the ground, it will grow! Not sure if it works mind..havent tried it. My Rud. Goldsturm also stays out all year..and what I have tried with this (and it works), if I see a bit come up a little away from the plant, I chop it in between new shoot and main plant and dig up the piece and stick it in a pot..grows away, no problem!

My OH has decided to store all my solar lights in my new arbour, Tet, so I can't even sit in it now!! It has become a glorified shelf!!! As you can imagine, OH is threatened with being buried under the again!!!! LOL!\0/x

Our Flori is truly frustrated, for the words she
lets fly are x-rated
Poor Andy must fly or he'll get one in the eye
And expire while being berated

The arbour it not longer shines; the gift given
no longer defines
the way Flori is feeling for she'll send Andy reeling
And she wont care if what she says rhymes!

So dear Andy you must move them quickly
Those solar lights making Flo sickly
With rage, she wont stop
She'll scream til you pop
To the garden and hide them directly!

For heavens sake - do it right now!
To avoid a terrible row
You can then both sit and cuddle
Without all that muddle
While she wipes the sweat from your brow.
