The Garden in October

 

The Cosmos that I grew from seed are still flowering in the round border. Behind them are the dwarf sunflowers, also grown from seed.

The two plants that were free when I visited Chiltern View Garden Centre months ago, had died off after their first flowering. I moved them to the conservatory border and they are flowering again. I had to go on "plant identifier" to find that they were a Blue Daisy or Felicia amelloides. I will look out for them again next year.

For the first time in years, I have resisted buying any more bulbs. But what I did (on the advice of Monty Don) was buy a dozen Wallflowers Sugar Rush mix. They are not too tall and I hope that will suit them going in pots. 




The Impatiens in pots at the front keep on flowering.
