In the Front Yard
These roses produced some beautiful autumn blooms in the front garden in the cooler weather. The red/orange rose is 'Remember Me', the other 'Iceberg'.
Bee Heaven
This blue salvia has thrived, and flowered continuously since Christmas. The tall flower spires look quite like lavender - and the bees love them!
Please Feed Me!
The citrus trees are showing signs of mineral deficencies and are in need of a good feed. I had been reluctant to undertake this task until the last of the extreme hot weather had past.
Back in Bloom
With the cooler weather the mini Lebanese eggplant bush began blooming again!
Fabulous Capitol Pears
The Capitol Pear trees have enjoyed deep regular watering throughout summer and early autumn and have grown accordingly!
Sweet Sweetcorn
The sweetcorn are ready for picking.
Berry Tomatoes
There is a new flush of berry tomatoes now that temperatures have cooled off.
Potted Petunias
The potted petunias are looking bedraggled and are very much past their best - but are flowering on like little troopers!
An Experiment
I pruned the grafted tomato back hard and have been rewarded with some new growth. I'm not sure it will come to anything however.
That Pond - Again!
In the hot weather the pond cracked yet again! We've drained it and are considering our options!
An Intruder in the Garden
This pumpkin is an intruder in the garden popping up of its own accord! It split after we received huge rains in late February and early March.

Downt Mildew Arrives
Following those same rains the zucchini and cucumber bushes are developing downy mildew and will need to be removed.
The Raised Garden Bed
This little raised garden bed has yielded more produce than I thought possible from such a small area. I am sold on them as a gardening system.
Memories
Finally, this little bird house sits in the peach tree. It was made by my late Dad and so has great sentimental value. Do you have something similar in your garden?
Happy gardening!
Cheers!
Marian
