I hope to provide this with a heron-proof cover so I can enjoy having fish. I was on holiday in Italy and what a wonderful time I had. I saw that the Michaelmas daisies had started to flower and Monch was still looking pretty wonderful. The Bishop dahlia is flaunting its bright red flowers and the foliage is such a lovely shade too. The Phlox is nearly finished so there will be a lot of cutting back to do.
Fuchsias are probably at their best now that Autumn has arrived.
Gaura is another plant that is late blooming and seems to last quite a while. I dug up some an potted them in case winter affected them. The pond is finished and there are 4 little goldfish in residence much to the delight of Poppy cat who sits for hours watching. I hope to have some pictures of Poppy investigating the pond and fish when next I write. October 21st I am really pleased to have quite a lot of colour still in my garden.
