Suddenly the garden is looking pretty much of a mess! So much for hopes of cutting the grass - I think that would make a big difference. Still a lot of growth and quite a surprising amount of colour but I think this is the real turning-point. I fact tonight's predicted frost prompted me to be quite ruthless about cutting handfuls of gorgeous dahlia blooms - so this will probably be it for dahlia pictures this year!!!
I am posting a picture of the progress made by the nerines which shows just how much growth has begun to slow.
There are still PLENTY cobwebs (seen here catching the light behind crocosmia leaves) - must be a very good time of year for spiders, although I have no idea why. Are they fattening themselves up for winter?
Wonderful Dahlias!!! .... I bought some yesterday from the local fruit n veg shop..... a bunch of pink and orange-red mixed varieties..... It is such a shame they are fairly short lived as a cut flower....
