Autumn leaves

Hi everyone,

Thank you for your sweet comments on my 'closet' post. I enjoyed reading them!

Last week felt like summer in Holland. I can't remember having such high temperatures before at the beginning of November. Because we had hardly any wind, the trees are still full of  leaves in the most beautiful shades of yellow, orange and red.

The garden is slowly falling asleep. However, there are several plants that still catch the eye. Like the Boston ivy with it's red leaves, the Callicarpa with it's purple berries and the Hydrangea and Sedum with their faded pinks.

We planted the last bulbs. Some purple tulips, pink and purple alliums, bluebells and forest hyacints. We cut back the grass, emptied the terracotta pots and cleaned out the greenhouse. There is still a lot of work to do before next spring, but there is no hurry.

Have you been working in the garden lately?

Wish you all a Happy weekend!
