What an amazing season we've had! Absolutely perfect growing conditions. For a garden to be full of deep crimson sedum and pink Gertrude Jekyll roses mid-october is a symphony that only nature can compose. Last night we had our first frost, the first sign that the end is nigh for our perlagoniums. We cut as many rose heads as we could to fill the house with the last of the summer fragrance, as well as starting to cut back the voluptuous hornbeam hedges before the leaves turn the paths into ice-rinks. Thank goodness we have real seasons.
