We have loads to do to get the garden straight before winter sets in.. we've planted new bulbs in pots, and the new rose in the garden. And the new front pots are planted up, we added some wall flowers in them, the scent in the ones last year was lovely as we opened the front door.
We've dug up the damson tree we brought with us from Suffolk, as it was a new one, but it has never fruited, altho it had some blossom last year but it never came to anything. So that one bed looks fairly tidy. But we have foxglove seedlings and aquilegia to plant, some weeding and the grass needs cutting one last time and two more flower beds to weed and tidy.
All we need is the 'umph' to get going, so perhaps tomorrow??
We did sweep the leaves from the front yesterday, we get a lot from the tall trees that border the school drive about 100 yards from us. Then popped out and bought a tub of yellow chrysanthemums and new pot, to have by the front door.
It looks very bright and pretty and we felt we had done something.
Is your garden ready and tidy for winter?

I did break down and buy a very pretty chrysanthemum to put on the patio for a few weeks. It's already looking ragged and I've cut off the flowers. My husband suggests that I try to keep it in the house over the winter and maybe plant it outside in the flower bed in the spring. I live far enough North but mums don't do very good here. I so admire that yellow rose.
The front entrance looks lovely, you have your priorities right. A new flowering plant brings everything to life!
