My Garden November 2017

Continuing on from @photobird project, taking it into year two, another shot of my back garden, one month on from the last one.

Being reunited with my EOS this morning, having forgotten to take it with me last Sunday evening, I’ve again used the wide angle and taken this from the same position as the last couple of months. This month however, I’ve taken it very early in the morning and captured the cold of a UK November morning. Frost last night, but not to worry as the last of the Dahlias were lifted last weekend.

There’s a splash of yellow from some flower or other in the foreground by the Magnolia (which has this week decided to drop its leaves (the Maples having done that the week before)) and a faint splash of pink here and there from the Sedums against the fence and the Hydrangeas.

The garden is at last ready for winter.

Cold and forlorn !! -- All one can do now is sweep up the leaves !!!

that is so interesting! living in a subtropical place is so different, I have swathes of garden areas that flower all year round and I don't even get frost.
this has made me really appreciate the difference in the seasons that you experience and it's especially great that you take the time to link to your previous shots as I had a lovely time viewing each month.

What a transformation from the summer - still a lovely space though

@beryl I’ll ‘hoover’ them up on Sunday 😜

@koalagardens Thank you. It’s a labour of love at weekends, as I work away from home during the week. Majority of the plants look after themselves.
Seasons over here have kind of merged since I was a kid, they certainly aren’t as defined as they were.

Thank you. I enjoy gardening - will have got that from my Mum.

Looks a frosty start I like cold days like this but I'm usually stuck in work :(

I wasn’t up early enough to see this, sometimes I wish I was more of a morning person!

@rjb71 cheers Richard. WFH today, so snuck out in my slippers whilst laptops were booting and my morning cuppa was brewing.

@carole_sandford You never have been, so can’t see it changing any time soon x

Such a difference!

It's great to see how things change over the year. We had same frost too - very cold but swede and parsnip will be better for it. I have never grown Dahlias but would like to - do they always need lifting? Any tips for a beginner?

It is so cold and wintery. Nice to see the progression of your wonderful garden.
