Inspired by Lorrie's lovely post on her Autumn-y garden, I thought I would go and see if there was anything in mine worth photographing. The dry weather has finished off so many perennials. Roses are almost over, and the only things actually producing are apples, tomatoes and pears. Also blackberries on my 'Tame' plant. Not a wild one, not huge, it has produced over a pound so far.
I think these are called Asian pears. They are round rather than the normal pear shape. I have stewed them and they are very sweet, but I think people also use them in making chutney.
Apples are falling over the lawn every day. They are Bramleys but the tree is old now and many are diseased. I have cut lots up and made Apple jelly, or stewed what I can. I do enjoy having my own produce!There's a sudden burst of colour from this late flowering Clematis. I wish I could recall her name.
The lovely mop head Hydrangeas are turning from a beautiful blue to this interesting purply colour. The heads have been huge this year.
At the beginning of the season I was given a rather random set of plants and simply put them all into one big plantpot. They have gone on and on, bringing a lovely burst of colour just outside my kitchen door.
And the Tomatoes are behaving beautifully!
