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.
