Our Garden - October 2015 |
||
Another month, another set of photos. These were taken before I started the big prune so a few days later it looked a bit tidier. |
||
The pigs are still in the same place. One day I'll get around to moving them. |
||
The hydrangeas are still in flower but starting to fade so it will soon be time to harvest them for Linda. |
||
I love lavender and have it all around the garden - in beds and in pots. |
||
Loads of berries and good things around for the birds to eat. |
||
A few good things in the garden for us to eat as well. |
||
A bit of colour in this corner. This corner's been pruned quite a bit since I took the photo so it's slightly less messy now. |
||
The acers are starting to change colour so I hope the big one will soon be a similar colour to the one on the left. |
||
The pampas is doing its usual Autumn stuff - so lovely (not in Jonathon's opinion!) |
||
The Sedum gradually gets a deeper red as the months go by. Some of the roses are still flowering adding a bit more colour. |
||
This little aster is the only one that pops up year after year. |
||
A couple of the heuchera are flowering. Such dramatic leaves and such delicate flowers - a real contrast. |
||
Quite a bit of the bedding is still going strong, especially in the patio beds. |
||
Dew drops on the Cotinus make for a nice photo. |
||
The Spiraeas are starting to change colour as it's starting to feel like Autumn. |
||
Some plants simply don't change colour - they provide lovely colour all year round. |
||
This is what acanthus looks like when it's going to seed. |
||
I love the way the light catches some of the plants. The Eucalyptus on the left is lovely with the light shining through. |
||
Although you might think these grapes look good enough to eat, they have a large pip in them. They are sweet but the birds tend to get to them before we do! |
||
Since I cut the large Red Robin tree back a bit this lovely fellow has had room to flourish (and is taking full advantage of it). |
||
|
That's it for this time. I'll add more photos next month. |
