    Yes Fairygirl, it seems I am just like the rest of you without even knowing it. I've always loved the outdoors but since getting my own garden I've become quite obsessed, that's why I'm taking a gardening course and hopefully making it into a career change.

    Yes an Oak, but in the next garden on. I feel very blessed, to be on the outskirts of London and yet for the first time in my life when I'm in my garden I don't just see loads of other houses right backed up onto the garden.

    It's a great project you have Jack. I hope you enjoy developing it. Photos are a good way of marking your progress and it keeps the motivation going on those days when you feel it's all getting a bit much. Once you  see your plants growing well and flowering it'll be a real thrill.

    Dove I'd forgotten how pretty the Nigella seedheads are. I think I have a packet of seeds somewhere. Might chuck a few in a little corner out where I have the car parked. Lovely and sunny there. image

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    weather changes how plants behave. For best autumn colour, an early cold snap to start them off , then a long cooler period to keep it going. If your garden is sheltered , maybe this didn't happen? It's all part of the fun.

     

    That'll be it. There was no cold weather was there? I had very disappointing autumn colour.
