The Gardens of Delargo Towers - October

Well then me dears;
Nights are drawing in, theres a slight chill to the evening, Summer is coming to an end
Here at Delargo Towers we are looking and feeling a little old and shabby but the Cosmos that has served us so well this year is still hanging on

The Nasturtiums have gone crazy but at least they are green and the strong colour of the flowers is quite welcome at this time of year. We will be more careful with them next year, though.

 Hollyhocks and Lupins for next year.

The window boxes are in urgent need of a good sort out.

 Campanula for next year

 The Black-Eyed Susan is doing well

 Yes we did actualy get a crop of toms from the poor little plant Alistair rescued from his office

 We just made the R H S Autumn show before it closed this year and aquired two new Streptocarpus, Ruby and Targa. They were covered in flower when we bought them ( from the display stand ) but dropped there flowers almost immediately and have looked very sickly ever since.

Its time to batten down the hatches and have a good clear up before the winter really sets in.

I am not looking forward to the dark cold and damp with just a seed catologue to keep me warm.
Hey Ho
We will see what November has in store,
