My Back Garden - October 2001

We have had no frosts so far so everything is still growing up and out. Even the bronzy chrysanthemums are still upright as the wind has not been strong enough to knock them flat. The golden leaves in the foreground are from Campsis x tagliabuana 'Madame Galen' -- Trumpet creeper the flowers lasted well this year. The rosemary to the bottom right of the picture is showing its age, well it is about 22 years old, so it is entitled to look a bit rough but I don't seem to be able to get cuttings to take.
