Last week one of my daughters in law remarked how autumnal it was beginning to feel. Our hanging baskets have gone over, they haven't done very well this summer, despite care and attention.
I have been cutting delphiniums back, the usual dead heading of geraniums, but the crocosmia and golden rod need chopping down. It is too wet right now to do it, I will get soaked. I have cut two rows of rasp canes down, and dead headed the hosta flowers.
Meanwhile our neighbours have slashed at the front hedge of our adjoining properties, and ignored everything else!
