That’s huge! #GardensHour

‪Evening #GardensHour the Salvia ‘Hot Lips’ is still puckering up nicely so I’m looking forward to still seeing some colour in November‬

‪Evening #GardensHour though I won’t be bobbing with them, I’ve harvested the last of the Apollo Rocket apples. It seems to have been a mast year so this may be a harsh Winter!‬

Evening #GardensHour I’m a keen composter. Veg food waste goes in, along with a lot of cardboard packaging, home compostable coffee pods & gerbil bedding. It all makes enough for a really good yearly mulch

Many thanks Mary!

Thanks Paul!

Thanks Graeme. It’s handy for garden furniture, ladders as well as the usual control room, swimming pool etc #GardensHour

White Cosmos with dark leaf Cannas in background

I think the Cosmos is now looking the best it has this year. The Cannas in the background will stay out until the frost arrives #GardensHour

Evening #GardensHour I’m Jon. I’m here most weeks, and here’s my garden

I hope they’re tasty wee apples though! #GardensHour

Mahonia ‘Soft Caress’ is starting to flower. It’s a useful plant - a lot smaller & softer than your average Mahonia #GardensHour

Always sad to see trees come down #GardensHour

‪Good evening #GardensHour in terms of harvesting, it’s been a good cropping year for the potted Apollo Rocket apple tree. Still lots of fruit on the tree despite the best efforts of Storm Amy!‬

I’ve brought a few chillis & sweet peppers inside to avoid the cold night. The days are still quite warm though here - 19 & 20 deg C this week #GardensHour

Red & yellow tomatoes in a red bowl

‪Evening #GardensHour I’ve harvested the last few tomatoes. Haven’t decided what to grow in the bed over Winter - maybe some garlic‬?

We’re having some very cold nights now so the red Banana, Ensete Maurellii is dug up, potted up & coming inside of an evening. Warm days still though so it goes outside during the day #GardensHour

Evening #GardensHour I bought these 2 tulip varieties this week. I choose new ones each year. They won’t go in until November though

‪Evening #GardensHour I’ve a slimline water butt for space reasons. By the side is a tub that I fill up as a plunge pool for the watering can. My top tip would be to fill your watering can after you’ve watered - every drop counts! ‬

Hi Jules. I think the purple & yellow combo should look good. Welcome to #GardensHour

Thanks Kate! I keep it undercover over Winter, but it’s proven itself pretty hardy all things considered #GardensHour

It’s making up for the lack thereof since March! #GardensHour

Yellow Sungold and red Gardeners Delight tomatoes in a blue bowl

Outdoor tomatoes are producing a colourful crop this year #GardensHour

Evening Kate & welcome to #GardensHour. Lovely plants and bouquet

Bright red Canna flower

‪Good evening #GardensHour thankfully we’ve finally had some decent amounts of rain here over the last week. I’m looking forward to the garden recovery ‬

Yes, finally some decent showers thankfully in amongst sunny spells. The gardens are thankful too #GardensHour

Kew is a great place to visit #GardensHour

‪Hmm, I haven’t much in the way of pink in my garden, but here are the first dainty little flowers of Cyclamen #GardensHour‬

Lots of new growth on the Cycas revoluta Cycad. Amazing to think that these plants were around at the time of the dinosaurs #GardensHour

Hope so. I’ve some Gardener’s Delight on the go too #GardensHour

‪Good evening #GardensHour the outdoor Sungold tomatoes are slowly turning yellow!‬
