Poinsettia
My poinsettia is looking good considering its completely neglected all year and is a couple of years old now

November 2025
No posts for a while and 2 in 2 days! Sorry for the radio silence. Life was too busy to even do much gardening in the summer and now that I have a lot more time the weather just isn’t suitable. I’m a fair weather gardener although if I’m already out there and it starts to rain then depending on how heavy the rain is I might just finish the job I started.
Anyway, having said all that it has been mild when not raining and I’ve got a lot of my tidying up jobs done.
I had to laugh last week. Daddy is awaiting a hernia operation and we thought it was due towards the end of October. To that end I asked him to put up the bubble wrap inside the greenhouse ready for my plants to overwinter in there. Then a couple of weeks later I realised I normally clean inside and outside first but it’s too late for inside now as the plants are all ensconced in there til spring.
Here are some pictures of autumn colour and flowers currently in the garden

September 2025
Every post I seem to write starts with an apology for the silence. This summer I’ve had very little time to do any gardening except a quick bit of tidying up here and there as I’ve had very little free time. It’s bern very dry here and so my little free time has been spent watering. Despite the neglect and dry weather my garden has done pretty well.
My sweetpeas finished early although they did look and smell lovely when flowering.
I didn’t sow many seeds this year and probably a good job as they would have needed watering. I sowed an annual poppy which was a bit disappointing when it flowered.
The one that got left in the greenhouse has done the best. I also sowed some Daucas (wild carrot), they germinated very well and some have flowered and some appear to be waiting for next year.
It has, however, been a great year for roses. They don’t look very healthy with lots of blackspot and the caterpillars have been busy munching too but they have flowered amazingly.

Rose Margaret Meryll
I love white flowers and am always looking to plant more of them. This is one of my favourite roses but don’t tell the others. It’s not the biggest rose and these are probably the only flowers it’ll have this year but they are beautiful

June 2025 in my garden
After a good few months of very dry weather and our many water butts emptying rapidly the rain seems to have started and forgotten to stop. The garden is grateful though and has been growing away although I have to say my foxgloves seem to have stunted growth this year and aren’t as tall as expected which is a shame as I plant them at the back of the border. I have lots of things flowering and here are some pictures – a lot of white and also pink.
