It's finally cold and wet. Too cold and wet - be careful what you wish for! but it has helped some late flowers. The calendula flowers are much better than they were in the summer.
the latest datura seed pod splitting open
armeria maritima Armada Rose late bloom
some late Lithodora diffusa flowers
Crepis capillaris self-seeded in pot with sea holly, small teasel, teasel and a couple of Korean thistle seedlings
I've been trying to grow asphopdel, first from seed which wasn't very successful, then I bought some small plants. They've just been in pots so far but I've been meaning to plant them out before winter. The pots they're in had a lot of self-seeders growing.
I finally planted them out today. The ground is softer after all this rain so I was able to dig holes for them.
this Verbena bonariensis self-seeded with one of the asphodels so I planted them out all together
This pot has an asphodel as well as an honesty and small teasel seedlings that have self-seeded so I decided to leave this pot. I am going to try to plant the entire pot including the self-seeders.
I also have some marsh mallow plants to plant out so I've placed them in the garden in preparation.The pots sitting there will weaken the grass, hopefully making digging holes to plant in easier. Some hollyhock seedlings are in the pots
Cirsium botryodes rosette, the last one still alive after buying 3 and also trying to grow from seed
lots of rosettes which may be Crepis vesicaria or dandelions, it's a matter of wait and see
I'm not sure what these self-seeders are but I guess I should try to get them in the ground.
my garden is not complete unless I have cats, mine and visitors, this is Olaf, a visitor
