IT IS NOVEMBER BUT . . .


There are a lot of flowers in the garden despite the weather and time of year.
Some things just do not flower, should not flower now but . . 

 . . . here we have a quince on the left and the fatsia on the right.

And then there is the question of the camellia - what is it up to?


There are many roses, by the shed, on the back banking, in the rose bed.

Grouse, a vicious ground cover rose to the left and one I cannot remember the name of to the right given to us by P and A.

The one below is in the rose bed and I think Emma Hamilton but a bit thin as it is late in the year.

   

 Then there is red one on the left and the last of the Rhapsody in Blue flowers on the right.

Naturally there are other plants - the nasturtiums have not been frosted yet and things like feverfew plod on as do the calendulas.

Some annuals plod on like the cosmos and the ammi.






Erysimum to the left, osteospermum to the right. 

And the delicate schizostylis or hesperantha, the Kaffir Lily. 


So, just when I need to dig and things I bend down and twang my back!😟

Went away for a few days admiring grandchildren and the garden camera took many videos - all of grey squirrels and the whizzing woodmice shown here. A night video so look for the eyes.


The dark days are creeping upon us and there is a lot to do - so I hope the twangy back is better soon.
😟 3 grey squirrels on the feeders - will no one rid me of these meddlesome beasts?
