I used to find it so overwhelming and left a lot of mess at one time but now I enjoy the autumn, like you it's just hard making time as the evenings are ruled out now due to the darker nights leaving only weekends and if you're away then it's hard to find the time. I enjoyed the weekend just gone as it was lovely and sunny like summer again. However, it's like winter today!! Typical!

I love Huck, what a characterful chap. Admirable restraint on the plant buying front, all told - and I am impressed at your seed sowing. I didn't quite get round to it, and am now telling myself that it is better this way, as I am rubbish at nurturing seedlings through the winter. Though I will sow some stuff that needs the cold spell to break dormancy. Completely agree about single vs. double on the anenome front, I keep lusting after "White Swan" myself, but have so far resisted. It won't last, the combination of the pretty back to the flowers and the long flowering period sell it very convincingly. I hope October doesn't slither away from you too, sounds as if you have way too much to do!!Janet/Plantaliscioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15605580157193047780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12357501.post-90959979876547611022013-10-01T18:48:46.923+01:002013-10-01T18:48:46.923+01:00We all have so much to get done in the garden befo...We all have so much to get done in the garden before winter arrives!<br />Love your water feature, and your 'swans' are beautiful!<br />Lea<br />Lea's MenagerieLeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05201714466868118083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12357501.post-34530585246246992612013-10-01T17:18:33.830+01:002013-10-01T17:18:33.830+01:00Huck certainly is a feature worth featuring - and ...Huck certainly is a feature worth featuring - and I had to smile at the various transformations your barrel has gone through over the years. Good luck with your 'White Swan' - I have some plants from Hayloft which are in my nursery bed but were certainly not going to flower this year. Your autumn seed sowing has reminded me that I have half a packet of orlaya seed that I could sow, but I need to look into what else can be sown now as it is not something I have done at this time of year before. You veg crop sounds good - I need to decide whether to pick all our remaining unripe tomatoes before we go away next week rather than ask our chicken-minding neighbour to be a tomato minder too!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12357501.post-40657399705640652602013-10-01T13:01:20.055+01:002013-10-01T13:01:20.055+01:00Love Huck!
