This cheers me up as I enter the garden.

I cannot believe how well my Fuchsias have bloomed this year.  And why is the picture the wrong way round?   ???

Top tip.  When the stalks flop over, use bamboo BBQ skewers to keep the seed heads upright!

Nice to see the berries about to burst open on the Euonymous.

I love the colour of these pansies.

yoohoo!!! mr flower! summer's over! clock have gone back....STOP flowering! because my plants have for sure!

but lovely pics :) i'm loving the front garden.

you know sometimes you're going down the motorway and you realise that all the sides of the road are covered in some really ugly bog standard bushes that have no shape or colour or anything nice about them? well....i was proven wrong today....the autumn has bought them out into the most amazing colours....yellows, burnt oranges....reds......it all looks stunning. shame through the rest of the year they look so dull.

Nice pictures. I particularly liked the new container - must do something like that myself. I also liked the euonymous. its so unusual to see one of the evergreen types fruiting. You can certainly tell its a euonymous by those berries.

Speaking of things doing well, my roses are currently on their third or 4th flush at the moment.

You wouldnt credit it would you. Roses at the end of october!

I also have a border where self sown nasturtium has gone absolutely berserko. Cant see half the plants that are supposed to be there for mass of nasturium foliage. Won half be a mess when they get frosted though...

Nothing much SS, just dead head them and let them get on with it. Nice soil and situation helps too mind. Not all are on the 4th flush - some just the third ;-)
