It's been a glorious few days here, beautiful sunshiny days.. we were taking our time yesterday morning drinking coffee, talking and deciding what to do in the garden, when Dh said isn't it your hair day... whoops I hadn't realised it was Thursday! You might think that odd but we were a day behind, because didn't do our trip to Tesco for yogurts and fruit on Monday, but on Tuesday, so hence the mix up..but we managed to get my hairdressers in time.
It was so nice in the afternoon, we worked in the garden. I was able to sort out my spring bulb pots, a bit of fresh top soil, and new grit, so ready for spring.. Dh cut the grass, if we have a couple of dry days he's going to weed and feed it, doing that last year did improve it. I also potted up my pelargoniums that came from the front pot and the dahlias, they will all go in the garage to over winter them. Our garden is ready for winter, although I still want to move my 'Susan' rose which didn't do so well this summer.(Susan.... because its part of the name and I can't remember it) I am planting my new tulip bulbs when it gets a bit colder. I was very brave and walked around with my walking stick being extra careful where I fell in July. I'm still a bit nervous, but I can't not look around all the flower beds, they give me such joy and being nervous makes me more careful!
And we have the ingredient's to make these.. yes its coming!

Our garden is almost ready, just a few things to sow next month, I don't make puddings, but I will start my cakes soon, I make 3, 2 are for family members. I have made mincemeat for the first time this year.
Good for you - you got lots done! Our gardens are getting there, but not done.
I need to know more about the puddings... :)
Our garden is a jungle!
I find just one changed thing can put my brain out of sync for days!! xx
Glad you made it the hairdresser. Glad I am no the only one who can get her schedule and days all mixed up with just a little change in the schedule!!
I tried dahlias one year but they did not over winter in the garage. I just do gladiolus now. The bulbs do well.
Part way through getting the garden put away for Winter. I don't make the plum pudding until November.
I don't know about puddings but I did get the fruit cakes made.
The garden is more or less ready for winter. I depend a lot on my grown children to give me a hand for an hour or so a week.
Great blog
Hmmm...don't make puddings in the US. My gardens are as tidy as I could manage before my surgery, and will just have to do.
I'm glad you were able to get to the hairdresser's on time!
I garden year round (our winters are quite mild for the most part), so I was just discussing the cold weather vegetables I want to plant with my gardener. We'll probably plant them towards the end of October or early November. I don't make Christmas puddings, so that's one less thing to do. :)
