Autumn in the Garden

15/5/2014

Here in southern Australia, autumn is a beautiful time. The weather is more stable. We experience lovely days and cool crisp nights. I like deciduous trees. I have an October Maple, another maple, two silver birches, a paper birch and some fruit trees. They are all in the process of colouring and dropping their leaves. Autumn leaves carpet the back yard - love them!

I just took these photos of my garden. Hope you like them.

Usually there are a lot more flowers in the garden but it is a bit empty this year.

A Hollyhock plant is growing well at the moment. Its leaves are about 15cm (6in) across. I am looking forward to some beautiful flowers there in spring.

Thank you for sharing your pretty garden. Your plants are lovely. I am TRYING to establish some sort of garens in my yard but it is not as easy as it looks but I get so much joy from being outside working in it. I feel at peace in the garden.

I love growing flowers in my garden and sometimes make Flower Essences from them. They have great healing properties. Chickens adorn my backyard and give me much pleasure too.

My garden is free range like my chickens, there is no order here. All plants get along happily together.
