My passion in life is gardening and specifically growing flowers from seed

Winter colour

My garden is very wet at the moment due to so much rain. I did manage to finish most of my tidying up jobs so the garden is ready for winter. I have a bit of a winter colour still so here are some pictures

Hydrangea
Forsythia

My hanging basket keeps on going

This is only my second ever hanging basket and I bought it pre-planted in October 2022. The viola has been flowering pretty much non-stop since last October, the ivy and grass were in it as were the sunflower seeds. I’ve added a few things and am really pleased with how it looks. I’ll need to change it a bit for winter when my tumbling Tom finishes

Wordless Wednesday- Phlox

Sidalcea Elsie Heugh

Another plant has never appeared on here before. I have a couple of them and they do pretty well in my cottage garden improved clay soil

Dahlia Cafe Au Lait

Sweetpeas 2023

They’ve taken a while to get going this year likely due to strange weather but finally they are flowering and smelling beautiful

Wordless Wednesday- roses

Peony

Another flower that hasn’t been posted about before. We have several Peonies and this is by far the best

Campanula

I don’t think I’ve ever posted a picture of this on here before. It’s a very easy going flower and I have it in blue and white in the garden. Not sure where it came from but I’m very happy it’s here. It’s very easy going and seems to grow anywhere, I never water it just cut it to the ground when the flowers have finished
