Another week goes by and still the garden surprises me with flowers to raise a smile.
We are crossing over from late Autumn to early Winter. The leaves are covering the lawn and need raking, but it is a thankless job. Some leaves I’m saving for compost, but I don’t want all the Sycamore and Ivy seeds and berries, so some of the leaf piles are going into the green recycling.
First photo goes to the Winter Jasmine. I hope that the neighbour’s building work doesn’t destroy the plant’s root system near the shared fence-line.
Second photo goes to my last Cosmos, it looks much healthier than others that I’ve shown you. Perhaps it won’t be the last!
The third photo is of some Stock seedlings which are over-wintering in the greenhouse. The seeds came on the front of a gardening magazine and I have sown some during the Autumn and I will sow the rest in Spring.
My fourth photo is of the Fuchsia which is still flowering and brightening up the boarder.
My fifth photo goes to the very last Sweetpea flower. The plant has been blown over in recent winds, but the flower has valiantly carried on.
My final photo is to the Mahonia which is putting on a great show and is attracting the bees that are still around.
Thank you for joining me for this #SixOnSaturday post. I hope that you enjoyed it. Jim is now our host for this gardening meme and you can find his blog here where you will be able to catch up with links from all the other folks who take part.
Happy gardening

That mahonia’s a beauty. My chocolate cosmos has finished flowering now. The scent was lovely but the flowers not that impressive. I think I’ll go for pink next year.

Thank you, I don’t think I have heard of a chocolate Cosmos. This year’s Cosmos grew from saved seeds.

Is that a fragrant Mahonia? Its flowers looks wonderful. Winter Jasmine always reminds me of my parents’ former house as my Mum had it growing like a hedge at the foot of a wall – lovely and long flowering.

I don’t know Graeme, no strong fragrance from the ground, I’d have to get a step-ladder to take a sniff. Next time the ladder is out I small get the nose on the case as you’ve made me wonder now.

Stunning photo of the jasmine. We have a native yellow jasmine here in the American South that blooms in early spring.

Late November and still you have plenty of colour in your garden. Are those Night Scented Stocks? I used to plant those every year then enjoy them as I had a wander around the garden in the evening.
