Autumn Garden

It's all looking lovely,Carole..glad you have a good day in the garden..it has been on and off with heavy showers here..shame it all has to finish before long isn't it?
At least you have lots of lovely greenery to look out on..and the promise of Autumn colours :o)...great to see Lovey and Dovey still dining al Fresco ! Lol.

Lovely tour of your fabulous garden and am sooo envious of your bird table it looks sooo posh !

Another very SPECIAL garden here on GOY. It's beautiful and a real credit to you!

I enjoyed the tour of your garden very much. You have got a beautiful garden. :-)

Delightful garden!

Thanks Sandra, it was yesterday I did most of the work! it is very green with all the dam rain, not done much outside today just planted a few cuttings!

Hi Val Pleased you like the tour and the birdhouse ;0)

Thanks Lijemc pleased you enjoyed the tour and like the garden ;0)

Thanks Scottish for nice comments;0)

Agree with all the previous comments - gorgeous!

Your garden is lovely Carole. Thanks for the tour :o) Your new rockery has filled out well. Sometimes it's dificult to know what to plant in a new area, but they can be moved around ....

I enjoyed taking a stroll with you in your lovely garden Pansy, your rockery has done very well, I know we didn`t appreciate our weather this year but our gardens as regards the shrubs have gone a bit mad, I`ve also got a lot of thinning out to do, pleased you still have Lovey and Dovey, my family are still here as well and have already returned to the feeder near the patio, I try telling them its not time and to look elsewhere but they keep coming back until I refill their feeder, lol..

I too enjoyed the stroll, everything looks really good with lots of colour still.

Lovely garden. A lot of interesting things to look at.

You have a lovely garden - I love the different areas you've created. :o)

Have so enjoyed a walk around your garden with my early cup of tea. So much packed into the space I thought it was so much larger until I read your profile.

Your garden is fab Pp. so much interest in every corner and still a lot of colour left too. Cannot believe our summer is over, it was all too short.

Thanks Kilder and Sheila pleased you like the garden;0)

Thanks Hywel glad you enjoyed the tour, I agree its a bit hit and miss when to first create a new area, I just move two Heucheras as they were tswamping part of the rockery, will have to remember Small is Beautiful ;)

Thanks Lincs for your nice comments and Yes all the shrubs have enjoyed the wet Summerbut afraid some will be in for a chop! Lovey and Dovey are so tame now they visit 3 x daily looking in through the window if I dont respond lol

Thanks Drc, Dwyllis and Nariz for all yor kind comments , so pleased you enjoyed it;0)

Hi Jen what a nice way to enjoy my garden with your early morning cuppa, pity I didnt see youi I would have joined you ;0))

Thanks Grandma I agee the shortest summer on record, hope the Autumn makes up for it, but dont hold too much hope the heavy showers we have had this week;0(

Heavy showers Pp??? We are soooo dry down here the earth in my garden is cracking! (after all that rain we had earlier)

lovely blog PP ,I love your steps in fact I love it all lol .

Sorry PP, I must have missed this blog. I love your garden pictures, it looks like quite a large garden. Very colourful still as well, and all very tidy. Thanks for showing, I enjoyed the tour.

Carole, you have created a wonderful garden to relax in and enjoy with a diverse range of planting. Doesn`t seem two minutes ago you planted up that centre rockery and as you say the plants are already outgrowing their space. It does you proud and I have thoroughly enjoyed my tour with you.

Thanks Helen the steps are a nice design I cant take credit for them as , but we have enhanced them with all the planting and patio rockeries. pleased you like the gartden;0)

thanks Shirley its so easy to miss things on Goy! but glad you enjoyed the visit, its not a very big garden it must be all the planting I have packed in lol just can't resist anything!!

Thanks for your lovely comments Phyl pleased you like it and you are right about the rockery, it has filled out, but I'm on the look out for more minature plants to replace some of the plants that have out grown their space;0))

your garden looks lovely carole even though we havent had a good summer, glad the red dragon has survived, its a good colour isnt it.
i must say i dont know what we did before garden bins now lol
after my hols i will have to get out and tidy my garden and move a few plants,
some are way to big and need digging up and splitting.
enjoyed seeing your autumn garden carole :o)))

Thanks Sandra hope you have a great holiday, and the weather bucks up for you! I have also some digging up and dividing to do, just waiting for a dry day!!

Fantastic blog and garden

Thanks AMAN'0)

Lovely plants woman's garden PP. The changes of levels make it good to explore. Looks like there is plenty to snip at if the rains come, as they did here is Essex yesterday and today. Iv'e cleared a lot out of my border over the last week more soil than plants at the moment. Thanks for the lovely tour.

Pleased you enjoyed your visit Dorjac, I was out all Saturday trimming back and dividing plants, still more to do, but the rains have arrived here too so will just have to sit tight until the weather improves!

wow what a beautifull garden. alot of hard work must of gone into that. i was suddenly feeling good about the work i have done in my garden and now realised i have alot to do im no where near ur standard though i wuld like to dream that i will be one day.
you should be very proud of yours its absoultly beautiful

Aww Christy thanks for your lovely comments, my garden as developed over the years, no matter how much you do there is always room to improve, Im sure your garden is lovely too ;0)

my garden is looking very tired shall i say in need of alot of work. i'm not very good at gardening but love the results of the hard work even if they dont always work. but the battle must go on. i'll try to get some pics on here soon

Thats the spirit you go for it girl;0))

ive managed to put a few pics on

Your garden is absolutely gorgeous PP. I love all the little areas and especially like your steps with the plants overlapping the edges. Also like your pots and your water feature and your pond area is really pretty.
I'm a bit like hchristy, I think my garden looks lovely and then I go on Goy and realise it's got a long way to go yet!!
Thanks for the tour.

Thanks for your comments about the garden in Honfeur.
It was quite an adventure; but SO enjoyable.
My garden was in great need of TLC when we got back. Yours is looking wonderful... Well done and a pleasant wander around with great photos.

You really do have a beautifully planted garden, Carole ... I wish mine were half as full of plants ... far too much bare soil showing this year! Don't forget where the pond is this year when Winter comes! ;o)

Hi Carole
Your autumn garden is looking very pretty :o)

Thanks Christy, Cosmos, Roseberry, Shirley and Terra for all your lovely comments starting to look decidely Autumn now, lots to do but need a couple of decent days to gt started, Happy Gardening eveyoe ;0)))

I agree with Shirley tulip, wish my borders were as full as yours, might have to widen them before next summer, after seeing such beautiful colourful borders.Can you recommend a purple/dark blue easy growing perrenial to mix with my rudbeckias and marigold, upright variety, any comments will be thankful

Thanks Gralew, have to smile I am always widening by borders to get more plants in, will have no lawn left if I carry on lol. Ithink the first plant that springsto mind are the Delphiums you cant find a deeper blue lovely stately flowers too, Monkshood is another one, followed by Salvias and Lavender .hope they fit the bill [watch out for slugs and snails though with the Delphiums especially, Amy has a lovely picture od Monks hood if you want to check it out! ;0)))
