The 'Delargo Towers' Garden - October 2014

October is Over and with it comes the last Rose of Summer.

Both the pink rose and this fab red rose have been lovely. They look like they have been here for a good many years and have been a little neglected. With a little TLC we are hoping  for a fabulous display next year.

The dahlias are looking rather ropey and have been removed out to the back. Some window boxes are still giving colour - until they are replaced with the winter pansies.

The front bed has been dug and planted with wallflowers, Nicotiana and bulbs.

While out back the apple trees are getting ready for winter;

we have under-planted them with crocus and native bluebells. 

And we have a new border !

Finally, all the refugees from our last garden have a home.

The winter window boxes are planted and growing on nicely.

The Asarina is still in flower and we have a new baby growing in with the lilies,

Our new Martagon lily - 'Nicotine' - has been potted up and put with the other bulbs awaiting the Spring.

And, as I hoped in the last post, Doncaster Donny has made a reappearance in the garden

Just before I go - here is our other acquisition from the RHS Autumn Show: another Streptocarpus ('Bethan') from gold medal winners Dibleys Nurseries
