Title: Not much sign of autumn...
Post by: Georgie on October 08, 2006, 17:57:32
...in my garden.  Lots of plants are still flowering their socks off and there's plenty of lush green, particularly with the herbs.  Here's a small selection taken today.  G x

Jealous! Why doesn't anyone else get mouldy leaves on things?

Our Basil - in the greenhouse - always succumbs.

Lovely, especially the 'supporting cast' silver euonymous ::)
Did you ever find out the identity of the flower in the last photo?

LOL@Tim.  Do you think I'm going to show you all the plants with mouldy leaves?   ;)  Actually it's powdery mildew I suffer from most.  Gradually working out which plants I simply cannot grow and the list gets longer by the year.   Given up on Asters, Sweet peas, Polemonium, Spinach and Violas for starters.

Thanks Lorna and Travman.  Heck Travman, frosts already your way?  Poor you.   :(

Yes, SS, it's Monarda citriodota, commonly known as Lemon Mint.  Embarrassingly I had it labelled as 'lemon mint' and thought it was a culinary herb! Hence the confusion.  ::)
