| I can't complain about bare patches this year , at least not in the back garden. All the plants that have been suffering all through the late summer with the drying wind and little water . Are enjoying the cooler temperatures and rain fall . |

| This is when I would normally start moving plants around. But I think I'll wait till spring . |

| The front garden is looking far more autumnal . It's the Hamamelis ,which has been changing color all summer, depending how stressed they get with the wind and the heat. Last year they had a sudden leaf drop really early , so I've been giving them an extra spritz of water. The Guara's have grown and grown. Why I thought five, planted at the front was a good idea .They were were only tiny two years ago. Next spring I'll move them further back. They do look nice with the Erigerons though... |
Looks wonderful...those Witch Hazels are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteScott, I'm really happy with the Witch Hazels, I've got one in the the back that I'll move here as well .
DeleteYour garden does October well! (wish my Hamamelis had great color like that)
ReplyDeleteLori, These two out front have great color . I have another in the back that hasn't changed color at all .
DeleteMy witch hazel usually has great color in fall, but this year it got so little water, I think it might not look as good. I planted three Gauras near the front of a bed a few year back, not realizing how huge they would get. Yours look fab, mine just looked ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteAlison, I thought it was the stress of little water that was turning them so red , they did this all summer.
DeleteI have three other Gauras that look ridiculous , I'm waiting to move them next spring !
Autumn becomes you.
