Sixty more tulips planted labelled and protected from the squirrels. It is a T-shirt gardening day today. The last of my red onions have now been planted . There are five flowers on Pea Meteor and the garden had lots of butterflies in it. One followed me into the kitchen. I shall have a Hunter-gatherer lunch again today but will take a cushion to put on one of my wrought iron chairs and sit down civilised today as i am putting so many hours in. Lots of flowers surprising me including the blue flowers of my brown leaved ajuga which does think it is spring. Roses are beautiful and the fuchsias.
November is here and it is a lovely sunny dry day in Bristol. Some poet somewhere should celebrate that. Very few poems about November that do not bemoan the dreariness of it. I shall be too busy planting the sixty or so tulips I have just bagged up from my store, planting white training winter pansies by my Black Grass (orthopogon) and collecting bags of leaves for leaf mould. I wonder what Mr. Fothergills have in store for the Nation of Gardeners this November.
Lovely pictures Mario , I see your pink roses are still going well, weather here is dry and sunny too, i wish the ground would dry out though because I can't cut my lawn until it's dry, got the leaves to collect and pruning to be done.
Well done frumpy with your tomatoes. i had no green ones this year at all despite growing eight varieties. I have planted over 60 tulips this morning and some day lilies and done some weeding in the sunshine. Need to go shopping as usually have visitors at weekend but hope to get some more work done before it gets dark.
well done Marion, I too have planted tulips, can't wait for sping to start all over again, the colours from the Daffadils and Tulips will look gorgeous , have a lovely day today while the sun is out

Whacked so went snapping the summery flowers up the garden.
Beautiful, Marion. You wouldn't think it was November , tomorrow.

These are my last crop of tomatoes

Beginning to get dark now, flumpy1 so have to come indoors. Such a beautiful day and rain on the way to water all my planting!
My conservatory shining in the darkness.
And inside my conservatory tonight.
