End of September.

I love this time of year, especially if it doesn't rain. I can actually work in the garden without getting into a muck sweat!!



The bananas have grown massively this year, so we now can't see the bottom of the garden, I love it when its like this. The phormium has really shot off and is looking impressive, definately fills a gap, lower down!

The brugmansias alwyas go mental flowering, I wish it was warm enough for maybe one more bar-b-que with the chimnea lit, so we could appreciate their scent.





I found this little clematis at a garden sale it is gorgeous and all the more so for flowering now!



This is one of the bananas I mentioned earlier, it is one beast, and we purposly left it in the pot so we could move it easily into the greenhouse!!! MMMmm maybe a task!!



this is the middle



and the top must be some 12ft tall now. Even though we have had 3.5C at night a couple of times, it doesn't seemed to have bothered them!



Isn't this a pretty coloured leaf, abit like patchwork.



Meanwhile further down in the veg garden for once I am organised

Kale type Brussel Sprouts.

Cabbage, Cauli, Brocoli.

  1. Your garden has gone wild this year, it's absolutely gorgeous. I adore those huge banana leaves. I'd love to take a walk down your garden path and stop to admire everything.
