Month: November 2023

It is definitly Autumn now although the temperatures are still above normal. We had a LOT of rain and part of my country is under water. There are still a lot of leafs on the trees.

There is not much to see in my garden, I still have a few flowers, roses and fuchsia’s and my Skimmia Kew Green has many buds who are waiting for Spring.

Skimmia Kew Green has white flowers and normally it has green buds this time of the year but the buds are already white now. This shrub is by far the prettiest thing that I have in my garden at the moment.

My fig tree looks ugly at the moment, it needs a good cut but the best time to cut off branches of a fig tree is between Christmas and New Year if it is not freezing.

As you can see it is still full of figs, alas they won’t ripe anymore as for figs it is too cold.

Another view of my figs.

I cut my fig three down really hard every year as I don’t have the space to let it grow like it normally grows but each year it gives me a lot of juicy figs. And the birds in the garden loves them too. I just can’t keep them off.

I hope you are all ok and enjoying your garden.

Take care !
