Hot off the press.

The light was absolutely gorgeous this morning, when I got to the garden. couldn't resist taking a few snaps... feels as though autumn is almost upon us.

Anemone hupehensis - I know this plant is happiest in semi-shade
but it looks simply stunning when the sun shines through it

A squirrel feasting ground...

Tomatoes worked well this year.

A chilli plant whose name has long since been lost.
For some reason we call it 'Donkey'

Dahlia 'Karma Sangria'

Check out the colour of this bad boy! It is Vitis coignetiae 'Claret Cloak'

Lunaria annua, doing what it does best.

This deep blue Aster looks incredible in the shade of a yew hedge -
the colours really pop. Having trouble identifying the variety... will get back to you.

  2. It's aster (symthyotrichum) 'Marie Ballard'.
    One of the greatest asters ever produced.
