October Garden

Been putting the garden in order this month - the hedges have been given their winter trim; the grass has been cut (hopefully for the last time this year); the hardy geranium has been given its annual decimation (needless to say it will be back!); and the veg plots have been emptied, weeded and dug, and partially replanted with winter onions.


One major change - we've taken out the small thin pine tree in the central bed of the back garden (picture in situ on the left) - it was blocking the view down the garden, and looking a little on the straggly side.  Got a bit of wood out of it anyway.






Finally we put in a few primroses, winter pansies and violas out front to fill the gaps left by the geraniums.  Still got some weeding and cutting back to do - and the fruit cage needs some work, but might wait until it's died back naturally with the cold weather.
