We leave our potted Fuchsias outside. They are several years old now, and have been snow covered many times. Steve.

Mahonia has been in flower for a while. Nowhere near the numbers of birds now, but the few that do come to dine, have plenty. Steve.

It's 5th. November, in North East Scotland, so it is not surprising that there is not a lot of colour left in the garden, but the Fuchsias are hanging in there. Steve.

I just fell off my chair trying to read that. :D Steve.

@mw0njm. We also have Winter Robins making an appearance. Steve.

I think that is outside of a Butcher's, Viv. There is what looks to me, an animal carcass hanging up. Steve.

Not much left now. Feeling -3 deg. this morning. Not many birds visiting either. Steve.

Tipping it down from about nine o'clock this morning. Winds gusting to 56 mph. A better day tomorrow - hopefully. Steve.

The wind got up yesterday evening, and it's been blowing a wee bit ever since. From the WNW, 50 mph. That is most of the plants done for this year. Bare in mind, the wind came off the sea, laden with salt spray. Not a good mix. Air temperature was into single digits, and the wind chill...

I discovered why the level in the nut feeder was dropping so quickly. There are fewer Starlings visiting us. But the Sparrows are in good numbers. Steve.

After having nigh-on constant rain since Friday night, the deluge has stopped, and all is well (ish). The cold wind has claimed one or two more victims, but, overall, it's OK. Steve.

It has been raining here since Friday. What is a garden? :laughing: Steve.

It just came to me, that they were referred to as Canadian Bungalows, by many people, locally. I doubt that Bay City, Michigan, would have meant a lot to the folks from around there. Steve.

I went to school at Turves Green, and lived locally. I was always impressed by these houses. When I worked as an electrician with the the MEB in the late 60s, early 70's, I carried out work in one or two of them. Nice, easy access underneath was a bonus. Steve.

Hen sparrow on the Mahonia. Steve.

!st. October, its 18 deg. here, and looking good. My wind blown Lizzy hasn't quite given up the ghost. Recovery is not an option. :laughing: Steve. Steve.

Not at all, Richard. I just bumble :grinning: along, day to day. Steve.

I have high hopes for this one next season, as it did not flower this year. This is the cutting taken in May, from my SIL garden in Castle Vale. And, I took these this week. Steve.

NOT in my garden, but I'm trying to get a cutting. :laughing: This was alongside the Hydrangea. Steve.

We have 45mph winds forecast overnight, but from the SW. We are well protected by the rest of the village from that direction, but anything with any North in it, is a killer. Those Fushias must be ten years old. After every Winter, I think it has been their last, but they keep coming back...
