Last of My Summer Garden

It's feeling quite autumnal in the mornings now. The air is definitely crisper and cooler. I have planted a lot of dwarf daffodils, including Jetfire and Quail, and plenty of blue and purple alliums for next spring. I have even ordered some pink narcissi which should get people looking when they pop up.
So I got the camera out to take a few pictures of the remaining flowers before the frosts get to them.

The garden furniture has been put away in the shed to protect it from frost damage. I will be wrapping the Buddha Head in bubble wrap soon.



There has been a late display of field poppies and I have plenty of seed for next year - including some lavender coloured poppies.




Because of the amount of rain we have had this year my nasturtiums have been free of greenfly. I guess there's something to be said for a rubbish summer...



This Liatris looks very pretty mixed with a coral coloured carnation.


I need to buy lots of winter flowering pansies and polyanthus now to fill those empty pots.

  1. Your flowers look like mine do. I spent 2 days last week bringing in my tropicals and houseplants. Today I cleared out the garden and will till it tomorrow. The only thing that did well besides the bell peppers was the bermuda grass! Needless to say, this is NOT my favorite time of year.
