Some September photos of our garden

I just went around the garden and took some photos. It has changed so much since we made the pond half a year ago.

This is the last of our sunflowers. It is about 350 cms tall now, so more than half a metre taller than the competition flower. And the tallest flower has broken off already, thanks to some squirrels climbing around in the plant.



Here's a nice bright green/yellow grass that grows in a sunny spot in the otherwise shady part. The ferns in the background did really well in this cool summer.



The big red Lobelia does very well at the edge of the pond:



Some blue Campanulas on thyme:



And one of our baby frogs enjoying the sun on a water lettuce plant:

aww its lovely ill have to post mine up soon

lisa

Aww very nice, beautiful flowers xx

Aw beautiful. I love your ferns and the Lobelia.
My fern hasn't done too well this year. it was fine last year :?

id love a bigger garden

Our garden isn't very big, but it is about square in shape, not long and narrow like many others we had looked at. So it is easier to use the space and have separate corners for the bunnies, the kids, the pond and even a big compost heap.

All our ferns did very well this year, and I have about 10 different species. The hostas did well at first, too, but then the slugs were taking over.

yes this years rain brought out the slugs

lovely colours there

The garden looks really lovely. I love this time of year, as the late summer flowers look fab against the reds and golds that autumn brings. I can not get Lobelia to live here, the slugs have taken it every time I've tried!:lol: :lol: The grass looks like Hakonechloa; it's a beauty

Lovely garden
