Autumn Pinks

Today my blog reached 500 hits !!! I'm starting to join some other blog sites and I think this makes a difference! Thanks everyone for your support & inspiration.

It's finally getting a little cooler in Northern Ireland. High over the weekend 11C / 52F and low 6C / 43F. Great gardening weather. I'm beginning to realise I have loads of pink in my garden..."just a grown up girlie!"

Variety: Trailing petunias (annual), pictured with naughty cat from next door.

Variety: Sedum Autumn Joy (perennial).

Variety: Fuchsia Tom Thumb (miniature variety; dies down in Winter and comes up in Spring; flowers late summer).

Meet my neighbour!

    Loved the cat photo with pink flowers---would be good painting material. Also love the cow poking through the fence!

    Gorgeous sedums! And your neighbour is preferable to many city centre ones.
