Garden Snap Shots!

Looks like there'll be some very bright early autumn colours this year thanks to the summer heat. We passed a red oak recently and it was already ablaze. I took a photo of a Nandina in a garden pot, green in summer now orange and red. Just a few flowers elsewhere. Think we'll try to get to Stourhead soon as I love seeing the autumn trees. 🍂 

I planted some spring bulbs, in pots, about 3 weeks ago.  
Checking out the garden this morning, noticed that the muscari are coming through already 🤔.  
Had to take the netting off the pot. Not sure what to do, just leave them, or top up the compost level to cover them over.  
Any advice very welcome, please. 
They are Muscari Valerie Finnis. 
All the other bulbs I planted are behaving as normal.

Pliers, I think the leaves appear quite early, ours are all up, so all OK?!

Our pepper tree is producing results, dried a few out to see what happens  The whole tree is quite spicy and the thorns are lethal we've still got it in a pot but might need to find a place for it.

Thanks, Brue, I’ll leave them to it, and maybe they’ll be flowering by Christmas…😱  

Will certainly be posting photos if they do. 🙂

Still some Autumn colour in the garden 

Amstrad salvia

Nice photos HostaH, our Salvia's are similar, OH usually takes some cuttings for the greenhouse.

The warm weather has pushed on the growth on our sale bargain Lidl olive tree. I decided to pick the larger olives today and put them in brine to cure them. I think this is what you're supposed to do, never thought I'd be picking olives in the UK! Interesting to see if they are OK. 🫒 

Spring is on the way.

Great to See..

London Pride as well PD👍 It’s a plant I like, you don’t see it often in folks gardens though.

Our daffs are starting to come out now, but this cold spell has made them put the brakes on. No sign of frog spawn yet, they are a bit late this year……
