Acers in the garden

We tend to grow our Acers in pots as we can give them the soil they like (ericaceous) and also a sheltered position more easily. They are looking so good at the moment apart from a little wind damage.

Wordless Wednesday – Acer in the sun

Autumn in my garden 2018

So I think autumn has officially arrived and I couldn’t believe how cold it was yesterday when I got up, in fact although it was bright and sunny all day it never warmed up.

I am now working 2 part time office type jobs and so getting out into the garden is more challenging with less time and the poor weather occurring on my days off! However, I’ve had a few minutes this evening to see what’s going on and there are a few plants looking especially good at this moment in time. Firstly, an acer that lives in a pot, a new red cyclamen and red climbing roses. Lastly a persicara red dragon which has gone mad and mum is always looking to chop back or dispose of. I think there’s a bit of a red theme here and actually it’s one of my favourite colours so probably not surprising we have so much of it
