I’ve got this week off and it’s time to start clearing in the garden, my
sweet peas have really started to look leggy and mildewy so they will be put
onto the compost heap. I’ll be keeping
some off the seeds for next year’s crop.
One of the cucumber plants that I planted from seed seems to be a rogue
and we’ve called it ‘Audrey’ after the Little Shop of Horrors, She’s already
grown 10ft and has produced one huge gourd! Can’t wait to see just how large
she gets!!
I’m really pleased with an ‘orange’ bed I developed this year, it’s done
really well throughout the summer with Day Lilies, Campanula & Dahlia’s and
it just coming into it’s Autumn bloom now with Crocosmia, Osteospermum, Tagettes and a
beautiful variegated orange Geranium. Now’s the time to keep dead-heading and
hopefully get a new flush of flowers until the first frosts.
