    Winter flowering pansies in pots; loads of rose buds (which I doubt will open - the cold or the rain will total them.) It is v. damp outside, but I can see so many things that need doing, it really is the ugliest time of the year for the garden unless there is some frost to give it some sparkle.

    I only have a few bulbs - they are planned for next autumn, some tete a tete planned last year are not visible but a tray of allium is sproutig well.

    Am going to try oniion seeds - I was given a free packet - so will need to do that soon and have a couple of flower seeds to plant in January. i will wait till january,

    Somewhere I have read that parsley seed quite like frosting, any one else seen this?

    Planted 14 roses during course of  year, some early spring, some in last few weeks, wish i could get around to see how they are doing.

    Mixed roses - ramblers, climbers, Hybrid Tea, David Austin - whatever suits my 'plan'.

    There were no plants in garden so it's largish well large to me, this will be its 3rd year and I set targets - so far next year is:

    an extra raised bed the only way i can grow veg in this garden

    Widen jewell border

    Finish fairy garden - if it ever dries out!!image

    Plant up family border (ie plants with names that reflect my family) thing is not all the family will grow in that position, Shady, Daughters partner has had to go in fairy garden becuse he's a rose!image

    Plant bulbs

    Sort out front it's image

    Bit like New year resolution i guess but Targets, ticked off as achieved
