A walk round the garden this week in between rain and 50mph winds, reveals signs of great hope: buds and bulbs fighting their way to emerge! Amidst the bleak mid-winter, these pops of green are quite simply a joy to behold!
Don't let Autumn be a dull time your garden as there are lots of perennial plants which can extend the season of colour and interest right through September and October.
For this week's Six on Saturday, I found an abundance of pink blooms dotted around the borders. It did surprise me that there was so much pink in the garden at this time year as I planned the flowering to slide from purple into red and yet, here we are with a plethora of pink!
Do you know the difference between an annual plant and a perennial one?
Hydrangeas are such a fascinating plant as they have the ability to change the colour of their blooms based on the chemistry of the soil.
