    It's amazing just how much colour there still is in the garden in early October. Here is a selection from my garden

    Masses of lovely autumn colours. And those primulas certainly do make you think of spring.

    Beautiful garden and pictures. Not as much color here at this time of year, although my mums and black-eyed susans are still going strong. My ornamental grasses look grand, though, and carry me through the long winter months.

    You sure do have plenty of colour there. The Verbena and Lathyrus I especially liked. All of them are so nice to see, though.
    It looks like they will continue doing nicely for some time yet.
