If you need me, I'll be in the garden. Probably staring at a shieldbug.

A selection of the strawflowers I grew this year. The colour palette reminds me of Fruit Salad sweets from when I was a child. Each cost a few pence from the corner shop.

Apples with lunch. Apples for supper. I feel like I'm composed of about 87% apples by this point!

Apples, Asters, Berries, and Mushrooms - it's definitely feeling autumnal in the garden this week 🍂

In the space of an hour it's gone from light drizzle and a breeze, to lashing rain and wind so bad that the conifers are being blown every which way 😬 yikes! Definitely NOT gardening weather today.

Present me is currently very grateful to past me for deciding to harvest the last of the apples a few days ago, when it was dry and still. I'm currently watching everything in the garden being blown at quite an alarming angle, and getting absolutely soaked.

Dustbin mushrooms! My dustbin silver birch now has some mushroom friends 😄 maybe milkcaps of some sort?

My shieldbug highlights from the garden this year - Juniper Shieldbug, which we've had for a few years, but this year I've seen quite a few of them, and Blue Shieldbug, which I've never seen in the garden until this year. Very exciting! 😄

I don't know what it is about me and nasturtiums, but I struggle to get them to grow, and the few that I have only seem to get going in September. I wish I could achieve a flowing mass of flowers all summer like I see elsewhere, but this will have to do!

Yesterday was the last warm (ish) day here, so I spent all day in the garden. Finished pruning the Portuguese Laurel, did a few other odd jobs, and took some photos of things before they all became soggy and sad-looking!

The morning glories are NOT enjoying the colder weather this past week. Here they are in all their glory a few weeks ago 💜

Phlox and morning glory cheering up the garden. I can't decide if I like the stripy morning glory flowers or not, but they're definitely striking.
