Busy month

Everything happens at once. First it was really cold and nothing grew. Now it's too hot to be in the garden and everything flowers at the same time. This is the time I worry there will be nothing left in August but there always is, of course.

Autumn colours

Heathers are wonderful in autumn. They don't much care wether it shines or rains and don't even be bothered by a bit of a frost.

Not all diamonds are forever

I watered the flowers on Friday and the ornamental kale still had this beautiful "water diamond" in this morning.

Time for change

My summer flowers started to look a bit sad. As there is still hope for a long and warm autumn, I bought new flowers for the back garden. The fuchsia is still flowering so it gets to stay for a while. In geranium pots I planted heathers - the green leaves of geraniums still look nice and the heathers bring colour.
