Grey skies, relentless rain, and a damp chill that seems to seep into everything. One of those autumn days where daylight never quite arrives. Time for the hydrangeas to fade and die back. I don’t prune them now, I’ll leave them until February #TuesdayBlue

With magenta as its heart this lovely Cosmos is today’s #MagentaMonday star flower. Wishing you all a great Monday 🌸

A long weekend of grand-parenting, so my feet have now finally touched the ground. Late to the game but love the yellow colour contrast in this dahlia. I hope you’ve all had a great weekend 🌼 #SundayYellow

Loving my mid-October garden, loaded with colour. Enjoy the day everyone #SixonSaturday #MyGarden 🌸

A throwback pic for an out of season #ClematisThursday, a nice reminder of some of the plants in the garden. Have a great day everyone 🌸

It’s a bit wild and windy this morning😮 We live on an old Black Country lane that’s never been adopted by the Council and there’s this random rose that grows on the lane, and it’s a beaut!! Star of #RoseWednesday, have a great day everyone 🌸

A chocolate Cosmos for #MagentaMonday, make it make sense 🤣 have a great day everyone

Fleece on as it’s a chilly but beautiful Black Country morning to be out in the garden. A quick sweep of the borders and pots and I have my #SevenonSunday and a #SundayYellow. Have a great day everyone 🌸🌼

Bright and breezy, a perfect autumnal morning. Thrilled with how the garden continues to perform, here’s some highlights for #SixonSaturday. Enjoy your weekend everyone 🌸

Late in the season but timely considering it’s #FridayPink #PinkFriday

Proper chill this morning, not quite the first frost but close. It’s raindrops on dahlias for today’s post, have a great day everyone #MyGarden

One more bloom, and the last one for this year of the Standard. It’s been flowering for a full six months now, time for a rest. Have a great day everyone #RoseWednesday

Had to call in the Cavalry this morning, the Ivy was beginning to take over and I’m no longer up to climbing ladders (🤥🤣)

Many an Autumn job awaits me in the garden this weekend, thankfully it’s a sunny start to the day. Plenty of colour still abounds across the garden so enjoy your weekend everyone, wherever you are 🌸 #SixonSaturday

Squirrels have been in the newly planted pots full of Spring bulbs Grrrrr, at least it’s Friday. Have a great day everyone #PinkFriday #FlowersonFriday 🌸

The 1st of October and it’s uber sweet Cherry Tomatoes on tonight’s menu😋🍅🍅

Still flowering and showing no signs of stopping just yet, which is fine by me. Have a great #RoseWednesday everyone 🌸

No sooner had I taken this pic this morning than the heavens opened. A morning walk in the garden at this time of the year just reminds you how many jobs there are left to do to get the garden winter ready. Have a great day everyone #TuesdayBlue 💙
