How does your garden grow October





The last mow of the grass we think for the year and daddy and Sophie put stripes on the lawn, Sophie has new glasses, not for bad eye sight i hasten to add but just for style as you can see by Ella sporting them much to the amusement of Sophie


 I am still surprised at how much is still blooming even my hosta is not giving up now i have rescued it from the slimy clutches of the slugs and snails it really wants to bloom and show me how lovely it is.
It is a funny time of year with so much in bounty and plants still budding and blooming you get the other side of death and plants going to seed.


 Plants getting ready to feed the birds to see them through winter to help spread seed
 Even the smallest flower is clinging on making the most of the last of the warmth that is left over from summer sending out buds and flowers.

    Brilliant photos, just brilliant. Firstly I need to get a chuckle out of my system at Ella in those glasses!

    Go hosta go! I am finding dying plants strangely beautiful, a fragile sort of beauty maybe. There's a real nod to Winter as you say and the birds struggles for food ahead - I'm sure we'll all be adding extra see outside too.

    Your lavender looks just like mine, and that little pinky flower by it is just beautiful - thanks ever so much for sharing and joining in again x

    Love the glasses! I'm always impressed with stripy lawns. I just mow mine like I'm hoovering and hope that no one sees what I'm doing. I love the dried seed heads. What type of flower was that?
