for us, anyway. Winter is definitely upon us and with all the snow we've had this week, I haven't even ventured out of the house let alone done anything else in the garden 😏 Just a handful of photos to share, then there'll be no more garden pics until next spring I guess!
Just like the previous couple of winters I haven't managed to get the dahlias out of their pots, but at least they are in a more sheltered position this year in the arbour seat. Hopefully that will keep the worst of the wet weather from them! I need to rearrange the pots at some point, though, so that I can fit the two big ones in there as well.
Winter/spring bedding has now taken the place of the tender perennials in the tubs and planters. This tub is to the left of the arbour seat, and is planted with pansy matrix mix Coastal Sunrise.
The planter on the kitchen windowsill is filled with the same pansies as in the tub above.
The tub on the other side of the arbour seat is filled with myosotis (forget-me-not) Mon Amie Blue. I had a handful of plants left so I put them in the raised bed in the new patio area in the front garden.
No more room at the inn!
I just about had enough room to fit in all the tender perennials. I also brought in a couple of the solar garden lights to protect them over the winter, along with some windchimes that I don't want to get too bashed about. I've got another solar light in the central raised bed in the back garden patio area that I really must try to remember to bring inside as well ~ once it's safe underfoot to venture outside again!
I did leave myself a little bit of work space, should I feel like sitting in a cold greenhouse anytime over the next few months 😉
This funny little wet patch on the gatepost at the side of the back garden caught my eye from the kitchen window yesterday ~ I thought it looked like a pear on a stalk, with a couple of leaves...
which later morphed in a fat lady (looking very much like yours truly!) sheltering beneath an umbrella 😄
