SMALL CHANGES HERE AND THERE.

Well now the years heading towards the colder months, we see little changes we need to make here and there in the garden

One of the changes was to save Venus from disappearing behind the shrub that had grown so big it was covering her view!
So we decided to move her forward, so the shrub can grow behind her and make the bed there deeper allowing us to put in a couple of other flowering shrubs.

Above you can where Paul widened the  bed and put Venus in pride of place.

I did worry a little that Venus will now be out more in the weather but hopefully she'll continue to cope as she as done for the last fifteen or so years since we purchased her.

Today we went and purchased some paving stones which we put on edge and part buried to form an edge between the border and the grass, this stops the dogs from walking over the borders and gives a good edge to cut the grass.

Over time the plants will grow and soften the paving edge.

The corner, part already established and part newly planted.

The plants moved earlier in the month are doing well.

Paul cut off a couple of branches that were overhanging the back and it's allowed some dappled sun to filter through into this area.

This area that was also replanted a couple of weeks back is looking well and the plants appear to be enjoying the change of scene.

Paul's new Yucca is now in the greenhouse due to the nights being colder and knowing that it's come from a greenhouse , it's best it stays in one until next year.

Don't know what we'll do next year if it grows well during next summer! It's already near the roof of the Green house!

I love this Hydrangea that's down near the back gate in a shady spot.

It always flowers for  long time and looks lovely and healthy with plenty of blooms.

Still plenty of colour in the flower garden

Plenty of Dahlia's still flowering in the pots.

So another little job done but as any gardener will know there are plenty still waiting to be done, until the Winter sets in and the garden goes to sleep.
