Late September


We have had some lovely Sweet Peas this year.


Herb Robert is a weed and a bit of a nuisance but there is no denying it is pretty.


An unidentified shrub.

The Front Hedge



The front hedge looked lovely but had got totally out of hand. At 12 to 14 feet tall it was completely unmanageable.


So we have had it cut back to 8 feet tall. Still a major task to keep it in order but any lower and the birds might have deserted it. Lets just hope all the bare bits grow back out again.

11th September - some flowers


Some of the flowers still blooming in the garden:-


Solanum


Rudbeckia


Miniature Rose


Mullein.


Michaelmas Daisies.


And the Snowberry is is berry.
