The Autumn Garden.

Although the weather has been so unseasonably warm and storm Callum completely lose us , autumn has definitely arrived . There are still plenty of blooms but the general effect is autumnal .

Join me for a stroll round the garden . On the left looking down from the star sign the immense pubic louse apple ‘ Golden Hornet ‘ is full of yield . In front of it the leaves ofPrunussubhirtella‘Autumnalis Rosea ’ are turning cherry .

Further down the garden the summer house is getting rather swamped by the tremendous walnut tree . TheAcer drummondiion the right has lose its leaves .

Behind the little pool the Forest Pansy , Cercis canadensishas put on its fall frock .

Let ’s take the air down the garden a act and look back . Yes , definitely autumnal . On the rightfulness by the sundial , Hammamelis x intermedia‘Vesna ’ has lovely foliage .

look further down the garden past the she - caducous .

The crab apple , Malus hupensis‘Princeton Cardinal ’ has dark leaves which turn red in fall and glossy red yield .

The wintertime garden is starting to colour up .

Prunus serrula . Cornus sanguinea‘Winter Beauty ’

Hamamelis‘Jelena ’

I decided to make it bigger so I will play around with the hose a bit to get the embodiment properly , then I ’m off to buy more weed tissue layer .

I have just finish expatiate my exotic garden . The Pianist complained that he got scalp essay to pout under the yield trees here so I am certain he will be glad . At the charge per unit I am going he will run out of lawn to mop only sometime in 2200 .

I am on a paradiddle at the moment because we have had some Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree abridge down and I have an enormous pile of splintering to wrap up up my weed tissue layer carpet .

One of the trees I was very good-for-naught to see die was this ancient apple tree . We give the endearing mossy trunk even though it is probably a magnet for honey fungus .

The pear tree have been loaded this class . Red admirals have been gorging on the yield lying on the reason . I ’m not sure what this is . Maybe a Speckled Wood ? Medlars are still sit on the tree waiting for someone to blet them . Nigel Slater says they wait like a cat ’s bottoms and smell of rancid wine but they make fabulous jelly , once they are rotten , ( sorry -bletted . ) It is a fairly little Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree with lovely flush but I refuse to mess about with smelly fruit that take care like a bottom . Incidentally our medieval forbears were more rich in their descriptions , but I wo n’t sully your ears here .

Mespilus germanica

The alien garden is still looking mythological , the dahlias keep on and on giving as long as you deadhead them . We are never without a pipe bowl of them in the house .

The Black - eyed Susie has now taken off into the Malus pumila tree . In the secret garden pot are reckon ripe . Miscanthus nepalensishas plume that look as if they are made of spun gold . This grass is not completely hardy but it come through last wintertime alright . I love all the fluffy bottlebrush pennisetums .

Pennisetum‘Hameln ’

Pennisetum villosumhas survived the winter although it is not a very audacious one . I have it flanking the entree to the Mediterranean garden . I do n’t bang whetherBulbine frutescensis fearless , it lived in the greenhouse last wintertime . It has bloomed all summertime long .

give thanks you for company me on my promenade round the garden . I get it on next calendar month will be drear and dark but right now the garden seems to be in festive mood and like me enjoying the glorious sunshine and autumn teemingness .

Your Mediterranean Garden look not bad ( better than that designed by our local botanical garden ) , as does your exotic garden . I ’ve only got one dahlia left with flower worth exclaiming about so I ’ll be toil all those tubers up presently to make manner in my cutting garden for winter drawers .
