Darker evenings and chilly mornings tell us we are really into autumn. The weather hasn’t been bad at all, with a good amount of sunshine. My bulbs have yet to arrive, but I did buy a bag of some miniature daffodils that I have already planted out. We are still sorting a few things inside, so just a very brief post – again – from our little patch of garden. Thanks to Jim at Garden Ruminations, for hosting Six on Saturday, whose knowledge of all things plants and gardening makes him an ideal host and move on to what can be see at the moment outside.
We popped to the garden centre the other week and picked up a few things including a new lemon thyme that is already growing well. I’ll move this on soon.
I also bought a new oregano, as the old one was permanently rooted in the old old place (as to the old place!). It is also looking good.
The pineapple sage that had done so well in the old old place, did not like the move, so I also got a new one of these. Fingers crossed!
The curry plants I had fell pray to the issues we had at the old old place (you may remember the slip and emergency evacuation….), so I also got myself a new one which seems to be settling in so far.
One plant that has survived, though showing signs of autumn, is the lemon verbena.
And the rosemary I have taken with me through both moves is also doing really well.
Anyway, really just popped in to say hello to everyone. Hope you are all well and enjoying your gardens in whatever the season is with you. The picture at the top of the post is a local variety of hebe.
