Today’s gardening duties were straight out of The Book of Horticultural Cliches, chapter three Autumn. Collecting seed, moving perennials, tidying, planning for next year. Hesperantha were flowering, a cerise cyclamen popped and we swept the first of the leaves that had fallen in the recent gales.
This rich-red pelargonium however was having none of it. Summer was reigning its corner, its luminescence keeping the changing season at bay. Still going strong. Long may it continue.

I approve. I approve. (Keeping up the twice-reading habit). Nice. My red ones are carrying on as they should. The other interloping colours aren’t. So I approve (in case you haven’t realised). 🙂

Your pelargonium is gorgeous, many of mine are still in flower as are the various fuchsias. Long may they continue, it puts autumn off for a while and there is currently no space in my greenhouse to move them inside!

Have you still got tomatoes and cucumbers in the greenhouse? The Farm ones are going strong but I thought I saw a hint of blight last week, we will see on Thursday!

Did not get round to the tomatoes and cucumbers this year but that Fucshia arborescens you gave me is trying to take over!!

Told you it was a strong grower! Hopefully it will flower for you next year. 🙂

How lovely to have that colour still going strong. My pelargoniums struggled this year – not enough sunshine here for long enough in the day – and they are already on the compost heap.

That’s a shame, these ones seem to be just getting into their stride, and a couple of sunny days is helping. Better luck for next year. 🙂

Pelargoniums don’t seem to notice autumn coming. The days may be getting shorter but as long as you have some beauties like this you can pretend not to notice too.
