I think it is safe to say that we are having and Indian Summer.  I do enjoy this time of year despite the garden is now being prepared to wind down for the winter.  I have been stripping out quite a few of the beds and re-planting with new plants to extend our "catalogue" (how grand can you get) of plants that we have.  At our NGS day It was commented that I do a good deal of repeat planting.  I do but this is because cost is an issue and I have started with plants that quickly bulk up and I can lift and devide and so fill the large amount of new borders we have created.  Now I hope to be in a position to remove some of those plants and add new and extra interest into the garden.  I can feel some retail theropy coming on so I must be off!!
