Strictly speaking this cherry tree is not in our garden but a view of the neighbour's tree over the garden hedge. The photo was taken last Thursday. Since then there have been no blue skies, although I mustn't speak too soon. 😉 The rain has held off during the day and there's plenty to do in the garden just tidying up and sweeping up the leaves.
The blackbird looks on from on top of the hedge and, like the other garden birds, picks off the remaining berries from the hawthorn tree.
Mr P works in the greenhouse and pots up plants. Yesterday morning he swept up some fig tree leaves, but more have fallen.
There are still some flowers and colour in the garden....
The bracts and the leaves on this pieris shrub look rather washed out. I could move the bush from the shady corner to somewhere more sunny. It might be a bit of a squeeze getting behind the rambling rose so I shall probably leave it as it should brighten up in the Springtime.
The garden table and chairs, an olive tree and the citrus trees have been moved back into the covered yard and most of the gardening is being done in this warm and sheltered place.
The last of the tomatoes have been gathered and the sweet peppers are still producing fruit..
The covered yard is the place to grow seedlings, herbs and store the pelargoniums and other tender plants to protect them from the frost. It's quite a thought to remember that Winter is on its way. There has been talk of early snow. It's certainly getting colder in our neck of the woods.
It's now mid morning. I look out of the window and see that the sun is shining and there are blue skies again. 😊
Thank you for coming by. Have a lovely day!
How nice that you can still enjoy the beauty of some flowers. Here all are gone.
ReplyDeleteHave a happy day!
It's quite mild here for November. Your flowers have gone but you live in a country where you have beautiful scenery and interesting nature that you share on your blog. Thank you Luisella.
DeleteHow nice to have that covered area to shelter some plants in the winter. Your November garden has a lot more color than our yard here. Hope the rest of your week is peaceful.
ReplyDeleteThe covered yard is a good facility. Thank you Ellen for your visit.
DeleteSo beautiful, there's a lot of hard work going on to keep your garden looking so good. It doesn't really look like November, does it.
ReplyDeleteWe make the most of the dry weather and hope it stays that way for a while longer. Gardening can be good exercise as plant pots and garden furniture are moved around and fallen leaves are swept up.
DeleteI truly love your outdoor spaces and all your beautiful plants. doesn't matter that tree belongs to a neighbor, it is still in your space... so beautiful. and you can use the spaces year round no matter how bad the weather gets. plus potting flowers is good for the soul
ReplyDeleteWe're fortunate to have good views from our back windows. We enjoy gardening and the rewards are many.
DeleteA garden is a lot of work, but you will be rewarded. So you still have all the beautiful flowers. Great too that you have such a nice place to overwinter and reseed, and also so pretty all these blossoms you have. Above all, you see then again immediately new successes.
ReplyDeleteYou have it really nice with you, and I'm curious when you can report the first snow. Weather changes can also be seen at our place from year to year more.
Greetings over to you
Nova
We hope the weather stays dry as long as possible. We usually get snow in January. We're used to daily weather changes, but the threat of snow is not good news. Enjoy the good weather over in Tenerife. All the best.
DeleteLovely photos of your garden where you have lots still of interest and colour. It must be wonderful to have part of the garden undercover too. It is very mild for November, I expect the colder weather will be with us all too soon:)
ReplyDeleteThe covered area is useful. We're hoping that the milder, dry weather continues as it's better for our health. It was quite windy today. Take care Rosie.
DeleteHello Linda, it's been a while since I last visited your blog, and this was a lovely post with a lot of colorful blooms Here in NH, many of the trees are bare although there is still some color about. We may be getting snow within a few weeks, and that's OK because I enjoy winter especially from indoors.
ReplyDeleteThe leaves are still clinging on although the wind will soon shake the leaves off the branches. I like to see the skeleton shape of the trees as Autumn turns to Winter. In this hilly area I hope we don't get snow and ice.
