N4 The Gardens - November

Here we are me dears at the end of November with a quick random look at the gardens in 'The Gardens'.

This post I thought to include a few photos outside of 'The Gardens' area but still very much in N4.

The 'new river' and Finsbury Park in the sunshine.

And the Dahlia man's garden 'Manor House'

Back in the Gardens - a pair of legs. God only knows why.

Till next month then my lovelies

Random - Toreadors !

Well me dears our annual  trip to Spain to celebrate my birthday is just two months away. On that thought here is a random hotchpotch of Andalusian delights

I would however like to make it clear that no matter how much I like looking at bull fighters 

I do not approve of bull fighting itself.

So then to get us in the mood, here is the Divine Isabel Pantoja and 'Se Me Enamora el Alma ' with some dancing boys thrown in for good measure.

With la Pantoja ringing in your ears the following random selection from tumblr should be jolly.

and finally just in case you thought it all a bit too macho. 

There tiz then my lovelies.

The flight and apartment are both booked

and I cant wait to get a bit of Spanish culture.

The 'Delargo Towers' Garden - November 2014.

Well here we are me dears at the end of an extraordinarily mild November.

The window boxes and tubs are all looking a bit sad and damp now but still doing their best to give us some flowers.  

Time me thinks to put them to bed for the winter and bring out the pansies and violas.

The wallflowers were in poor condition when they arrived late from Thompson & Morgan but thanks to the mild month the ones that survived the post have settled in nicely now.

This Spring we will sow our own for planting out next Autumn.

Not much change in the garden since last month.

The foxes haven't been to bothersome. 

Every thing looks cosy waiting for Spring. 

In our fab ( cheap ) plastic greenhouse we have done some early sowing. 

Calendula, penstemon and salvia have all germinated. 

We will keep you posted on how the experiment develops.

Time to think of sorting out the pelagoniums and dahlias -

and fuchsias.

The delicate looking aserina is in fact as tough as old boots and should come through the winter with out any help.

As I said earlier time to switch over the window boxes ready for winter proper.

The violas should make a good display

They are planted with bulbs so should look fab right through to May and beyond.

There tiz then.
