Summer season still in September
One advantage of the cold May which caused a lot of fowers to start their season early is that the same flowers are still going strong a week into September

China Asters make a real show in the garden and, in this case in the planted tubs on the deck with Petunias and Salvias

Lobelia Cardinalis and Liatris are still adding height and colour but they are approaching the end of their season now.



We both love to see trailing Fuchsias in hanging baskets and this is a particular favourite.



Canterbury bells are a magnet for bees and need dead heading every day. This one has been flowering continuously for over 3 months and still looks in fine fettle.



Another couple of hanging basket favourites, Million Bells Petunias and Trailing Lobelia



Coming very late to the party these are he first of the Rudbeckia to flower but there are lots more to come.



Pelargoniums are another long flowering summer staple and they have some spectacular blooms.



Begonia Semperflorens lives up to its name



This Larkspur is rather delicate but very pretty.



Last few flowers on the Cape Fuchsia which started flowering in May

 LOVELY FLOWERS! NOTHING LIKE THOSE WILL PROSPER ON MY BALCONY, THE PIGEONS LOVE EVERYTHING I PLANT EXCEPT CHOLANCOE. THIS COMING WINTER I AM GOING TO STICK WITH THOSE.

Even better is having breakfast on the deck surounded by the planted baskets, tubs and pots as we did this morning.

We have a big problem with pigeons in the vegetable plot which occupies the bottom half of the garden. I have had to construct nets over the fruit bushes and mesh tunnels over the vegetables.

 Bondjam always love the display of your flowers. My geraniums are still blooming but nothing else. A couple of my pots I am going to dig up the plants and I am putting in Violas. they will last over the winter. They have sweet little faces and are such a cheerful flower.

 GOOD IDEA, I COULD PERHAPS COVER THE PLANTS WITH SOME SORT OF NETTING.
