hobby_gardeningThe second day of September already! Things are winding down. One of my roses finished flowering some time ago. The other two persist, a beautiful dark red and a cream that goes through various colours.
The buddleia, practically overnight, went from purple blooms to russet seed-heads. Any remaining butterflies will be disappointed at its passing but there's still some lavender. The buddleia will have to be trimmed, always a big job with much detritus to be taken away. The honeysuckle continues to bloom but there are many faded flowers now. I'll cut it back too, after flowering. I've pruned the clematis already. It had a long flowering season which finally finished a couple of weeks ago.
I continue to wage war on the weeds, mostly creeping buttercup. I have carried away bags of them over the last month. I plan much weeding, tidying up and maybe even some sowing, before the cold defeats me. I'm susceptible to the cold but I shall try to be brave.
