Welcome to the last Garden Year of the year as realistically there’s little to post about over the winter months, and so this linky takes a break. Thanks to everyone who’s joined me throughout the year - enjoy the winter, let’s hope it’s kind.

Click here to enterMy September gardening appears to have been dominated by cutting our lavender bushes - we have many in our new garden, at least six or seven, and none have been cut since they’ve been planted. The joys of a new build house, though I know I’m lucky that we have any plants (and grass) in our garden at all so this isn’t a complaint.
At least my major work this month has been fragrant - and rewarding, it’s great to see them take shape again, whilst remembering not to cut into the old wood.
Our gardening efforts are punctuated by when the brown bin will be emptied, and more often than not we’re out there - me with my lavender task, and MOH cutting the grass - the day before the bin is due to be collected. But at least we’re out there, we’ve also been visiting some National Trust gardens, so I’ll be sharing more about our visit to Hidcote and Killerton on my blog over the next month.
Enjoy your garden this month, there’s still plenty to be done - and if we’re lucky the weather will be on our side too!

Click here to enterWell last month was challenging, dry spells, wet spells and often windy too. In the past month I’ve lost my rosemary bush, which is frustrating as we’d moved it with us here. It was a relatively old plant, which had lived in a pot for many a year, so I don’t think it liked the changed conditions. I think it was the wind it mostly didn’t like, which is probably a good pointer for me to actually move the pots from where they were dumped (placed carefully!) when we arrived.
August was also a good month for visiting gardens as part of the National Garden Scheme, and I was excited to discover there’s actually gardens we can visit close to our new house. We got to one, didn’t get to another - but I’m continuing to look at what’s on offer now every time the newsletter drops into my inbox. If you want to know more, there’s details on how to find garens near you on the post I’ve linked this month.
