~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The lovely October weather has extended into November at La Basse Cour. It has been over 20C on the 1st and 2nd here and we've had warm sunshine all day.
The garden has had its season prolonged and the cool August and early September followed by the dry and warm October means we've had some confused plants! The blueberries have come into flower again (normally March/April), the climbing French beans have flowered for a second time and produced ripe pods, the roses are in flower and we've got a decent picking of strawberries.
Here are some pictures I took today, 2nd November:
The Morning Glory still in full flower, it's been producing 20-100 flowers a day continuously since June so probably around 5000 blooms in all.
Our Japanese camellias, which do flower normally in the autumn, have produced their best display ever (with some paint spatters on their leaves ....).
Dahlias and abelia on the pink bed.
Barbara's brilliant annual dahlias putting on a great show in the barn border.
Ruby chard in the potager.
It can't last of course, although there is rain forecast for later in the week the temperatures show no sign of dropping to the monthly normal anytime soon. In the absence of frost we could keep on with the late flower show until December.
