Autumnal Bucket list

[EmilieT]

Hi everyone, 

The end of Summer, as bittersweet as it might be, marks the beginning of Autumn. 🍂

It's a gorgeous season, that brings many things to do, eat, and look forward to! I thought it might be interesting to share what our favourite things to do this season are, and I'll kick this off by listing a few of the things on my bucket list for the coming months:

• Enjoy all things cinammon

• Step up your stew game

• Feast on apples

• Warm up by a bonfire

• Make crumbles

• Admire the trees and their autumnal colours

• Plan Halloween night

• Get cozy under a pile of blankets

• Carve a Pumpkin

So what's on your bucket list this season?

Chilly out this morning 

Lovely looking rose @TallTrees ... the rose in my yard didn't have a bud on it this year, lolz

Talking of cordylines ... I too like them particularly the dark red / bronze colour ... they wouldn't grow in my yard as too cold & not enough sun ... my son & daughter-in-law have 2 of them in their back garden, they have not long moved into the house & Alex plans to really get to grips with the garden next year as a project ... the cordylines are architectural / statement plants arn't they?

Hi @Anonymous

Yes they are a lovely statement plant ~  the two I have to re-plant (somewhere!) were in tall pots with

summer planting around but too big to stay there any longer.  The long lancet leaves make a lovely feature in the garden amongst lower plants.

Hi @TallTrees...it sounds like you have a lot of garden ☺️ from the photo of the 'palm-tree 🌴' it looks like your garden is warm and sunny 🌞 I enjoy sitting in my yard having a light bite amongst the pots of plants which 'look after themselves'... yes I'm a bit of a lazy gardener 🏡 🌷 🌸

Time for another photo to brighten the place up?

Just a nice Autumn leaves pic off Google

My fave song at this time of year ... Forever Autumn by Justin Hayward, formerly of The Moody Blues

That brings back memories, listened to Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds so many times

Good Evening @TallTrees my x-husband is now a landscape architect / urban design consultant

Only thing I vetoed was a garden pond when living in York, my son was too young for that

The train station in Skipton, where I live, has just planted up old 1/2 wooden water barrels & old platform wooden carts with Winter pansies & primulas

I love being in a garden, I love nature very much, in most if not all of its forms

Hi @Anonymous
Love pansies & Primulas lots of bright colours to jolly up winter 😁

I know what you mean, my wife plant "loads" of pansies every Autumn, does look nice I must admit. Most of our garden was that horrible dried brown colour all summer. We are not very good gardeners
