Although the trees behind our house are turning yellow and dropping leaves my pots have decided to Flower again , not all flowers but some , I cant understand why as up hear in the north is a lot colder than other places but they seem to have gained a new lease of life

Looks really nice Oma I think it’s been really mild lately so they are having another flourish 😀

I was listening to the local radio gardening program and several listeners had asked why their plants were having another burst of growth and colour, and the ‘expert ‘ said it was because of the long hot summer we have had . I have some polyanthus waiting to go into my wheelbarrow planter but it is bursting with my summer plants and they are far too nice to disturb.

Mimi I was going this weekend to get winter plants but not worth it yet , some haven't returned but the Begonia are doing well and the little Pinks have made another bid for life , Dahlia's too . Even a Geranium has re flowered .
Its quite cold up hear now but cant be as cold as we think , even my little Apple tree is hanging on to the apples

Oma - if you've been deadheading that will make them flower for longer, and even up North it's been warmer than usual. Nature's wonderful - the warm weather keeps the pollinating insects buzzing round and they carry on doing their pollinating job and the flowers keep on flowering! Enjoy them while you can. They look very colourful. I love pinks but can't grow them in the garden.

The frost when it comes will see them off, though.

They still look really good Oma.
One of our tubs is still full of colour,and not showing signs of dying off.

Gem - I have to disagree slightly on the grass comment! Our grass doesn't look anything like that! Unfortunately!

Most of ours have had a new lease of life the big planters in the front garden are still going strong and look very good I had expected them to be a wee bit bedraggled when we came back but no they are going very well indeed.
I do deadhead them every night when I water so maybe that is the answer,we have even had a second growth of potatoes which has surprised me I thought they where all finished.
I think I will get another 2/3 weeks out of my hanging baskets in the front then have to replant the baskets but they have been spectacular this year.

Nana B made them all I chose colour just so they didn't blend in with the fence 😊
