th November

Well winter is certainly on its way today, its not frosty but only a touch away.
I have now cut back all my Begonias, everywhere looks so drab on the Patio, thank goodness for the Dahlias in the borders.
The Shrubs are waiting for their winter Prune,hopefully this week, made the mistake last year of pruning the Hydrangers in the Spring, and like a couple of friends had very few lowers, so going back to the old way and doing it itn Autumn.
Have collected seeds again from the Cosmos for myself and friends, also some larger Marigolds whilst in Scotand,  that are almost White and about 12 inches high. Keeping my fingers crossed they will be okay, sure they will.
They tell me the plug Begonias will develope Tubers, heres hoping!!
The Thalia Fuschias are still in flower so will just keep an eye on them.
Next job to insulate the greenhouse, really makes me feel like winter just thinking about it.
