GARDEN PICTURES

Here’s a peek in my garden, you can see how green everything is. The red flowers are crocosmia, also called montbretia. The picture of the red flowers under this text are a closer look at the crocosmia.

This is part of our front garden, I used to have more plants there but it was getting too much so we covered the front garden with small stones and a few very big ones. Now I have decorated it with a big pot of hardy fuchsia’s and I am going to plant rock garden plants to cover the small stones in time.

A few minutes later it was pouring with rain.

This is a parking we have in front of our house.

Same parking a few moments later.

Have a great week and take care ! Enjoy your garden whenever you can.

JUST A FEW PICTURES

I know it’s been a while since I posted something here but I have been busy making jam from the fruit in my garden. And lots of other things too as I finally am able to do my job after my operation. Also my camera broke down and I have a new one but I have to learn how to work with it. It is completely different from the other one. The manuel my husband printed for me is a 5 cm thick book on A4 format and printed on both sides……… I haven’t got very far yet !!

This was taken a few weeks ago, every thing was still green and lush.

My roses have done really well this year, most of them have rosebottles now and are turning orange but this tiny part of my rambler showed a few last roses. Rosa Seagull.

My Verbena bonariensis did well too this Summer, they are still in bloom.

Hibiscus siriacus flower.

Fuchsia magellanica, a winterhardy fuchsia, I have several bushes in my garden, they always bloom as if there is no tomorrow, such a gem in the garden.

My other fuchsia’s did well too, these ones go in the garage where it doesn’t freeze.

Have a great weekend !!

STILL FLOWERING TODAY

It is November and there are still flowers in the garden, even after a few night frosts. But most of the garden looks tatty. It is Autumn ofcourse !

**UNBELIEVABLE BUT TRUE; A PRIMULA THAT NORMALLY BLOOMS IN EARLY SPRING**

**AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST ; THE BUD OF A BIG SUNFLOWER**

At the moment we have beautiful sunny soft days and frosty nights. As soon as the sun goes down it is cold. We are in a second full lockdown at the moment.

I hope you are all well and happy. Keep safe.

WHAT IS STILL BLOOMING IN MY GARDEN TODAY

It definitely is Autumn now, cos of the drought it is early this year. But there still is a lot in bloom right now although you can see the flowers are a bit tired and the leafs are getting brown and yellow here and there. On top of it they had to go without my tlc while I was on holiday in France.

**IT’S SEDUM SPECABILE TIME NOW AND I HAVE LOTS OF THEM**

**FUCHSIA MAGELLANICA BLOOMS FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS**

**THE ASTERS ARE JUST BEGINNING TO BLOOM**

**DAHLIA WILL BLOOM TILL THE FROSTS COME**

**ROSA GUIRLANDE D’AMOUR IS STILL GETTING NEW BUDS AND ALL**

**MY FUCHSIA’S IN POTS ARE ALL STILL IN BLOOM**

On the other hand some plants look tatty, like the ferns, the Amelanchier tree(shadbush or june berry), the lavenders…. But hey, I am not complaining !

I hope you are all well and happy, wherever you are.
