Almost put to bed for the winter
Sigh…
The bulbs are planted. The compost heaps are full and the recycling ‘green’ garden waste bin is overflowing. All of which means that I can’t do any more – at least until the bin is emptied. I’m not done, there’s still a fair bit to do, but my conscience is clear that I’ve done as much as I can and I’m well on the way. There will no doubt be a couple of cold, dreary slimy afternoons needed to finish things up, but I think I can justifiably put my feet up for a bit.
I hope you like the fuchia photos – a last little bit of summer. By next week I imagine they will be a bit bedraggled, so I’m enjoying them for now!
Temperatures have dropped by 10 degrees overnight and the rain has arrived and seems determined to sit over Switzerland for the next week or so. It’s knitting weather – so watch out for some sock projects coming up. I needed to get started on all the Christmas presents I’m planning…
That should keep me out of mischief for a while!

Fushias are so pretty! Do you grow them in the ground or in pots? Will they come back for you? I tried one last year in a hanging basket but it’s just so hot here they failed to thrive even in a shady spot. Maybe it was me though, as I know I’ve seen them down in Mobile grown as standards in pots. It’s been pretty dry here. I think I could enjoy a few misty, rainy days. Enjoy your knitting!

We had high winds and lots of rain overnight. Much more Autumny now!

Lovely fuschias! Can’t grow them here, alas.
