and a miserable wet week. Had to cancel two sessions due to the weather so I hope that next week is a bit brighter!.
The wonderful Liquidamber that I see on the school run has now lost almost all of its leaves and our lovely Larch in the back garden has turned golden. Although there has been a very slight touch of frost, the garden is a remarkably untouched by winter so far and is still a riot of autumn colour. It has been really soggy and warm all week and the garden feels like the inside of the Palm House at Kew, all moist and steamy. The Salvias are magnificent.
I still have not managed to plant my bulbs and have a mass of them waiting for a dryish moment when I can whizz out and stuff them in. I went to find Wallflowers at Thompson's nurseries yesterday, always the best value.Sadly, they have stopped getting them now. The only solution is to get some from Squires at £3 a bunch.
I was hoping for a chance to garden in the Jungle tomorrow, but a storm is on its way, with lots more rain and gusts of 70mph! I have already heard a lot of movement outside and occasional sounds of things being blown over. I hope there is no real damage.
