Another summer ends

Well, here we are at the end of another Summer. I closed the garden last Monday (SGS insurance expires on 31st August) and have already started cutting back ready for the Spring. It's been a good year with many more visitors than last and a greater variety, too - young and older, experienced gardeners and casual passers by and from at least four continents. A generally rather good Summer ended with several weeks of heavy rain but all we can do now is look forward to the Spring. I have great hopes for next year. I will not be adding to this blog now until April 2010 (unless something really exciting happens) so here's one last picture of how things will be again when Spring returns in 2010.

Helga's Garden at Oakbank

This is my new blog that I am starting today, Sunday 14th June, 2009. On it I plan to tell you what's going on in my garden and who has visited. I'll also be adding lots of film clips and photographs to show how things are going with the plants and all the animals that live amongst them.
