Somewhere in North Norfolk

My aloe vera are producing pups faster than I can cope with them.

Norwich is going to be over-run with aloe vera plants at this rate.

few odd sweet peas still budding away - nasturtiums on their second round of growth and will stay bright until the first frost then they wilt and give up

I just let them get on with what their are doing, annoying as it is to see them covering a plant.

I like butterflies so grow early sprouting brocolli to encourage them - for 5 years they have eaten them all and I have not had a crop, but they keep growing so I regard that a very good and cheap way of feeding plant eaters

Central

Passion fliers bloom here till frosts and our mild extended summer and autumn has pushed loads of stuff into reinvigoration. Lavender and peppers flowering but some daffodils already poked through the soil.

Strange year. It's better for perennial plants to toughen up as they harden off, with riper hardwood etc.

Enjoy the roses, sweet peas etc whilst they last and cut some for indoors if frost is forecast.

I tend to just let plants do their thing, but always like the surprise of a splash of colour, hate to say though my new acer is looking very sad

I had a azalea bought for me earlier in The year and because they are so suseptible to right soil conditions In this case acid one,s I dare,nt move It Out of the pot the leave,s are deep red Now as are the flowers not easy plants to grow if you have not prepared the ground thats why I won,t buy them Personally not all plants like acid conditions thats the trouble may just Keep potting on see how it handle,s the first winter.

All my Dalhias are still flowering . Once we have the first hard frost will have to make a decision as to whether to lift them or leave them in. Lost a lot in 2010 /11. Alway great great comments about them as people walk past . I have about 150 to lift at various locations so might just take a chance and leave them in . Fingers crossed for a mild winter though we do need a prolonged frost to kill various bugs .

Whack some H2SO4 in the pot, it will do it wonders.

Leave them in and put a few inch of straw mulch on top?
