One of my favourite things about this time of year 😍😍😍

The starling murmurations are back!

I literally ran down here after work to catch them on time😂

One of nature’s most wondrous wonders ❤️

No exaggeration - I live for moments like this ❤️ our little resident Goldcrest having a bath💫

There are elements of life that we all find mundane when we relive them day after day - I have plenty of those believe me😂 but the little garden birds that visit our water sources in the garden evening after evening…. That is something I will never get tired of, or find mundane. I find it to be a reminder of the magic little moments that life gives you & every evening I say how lucky we are to have these little visitors choosing our garden 😍

The last of the dahlias were cleared from the front border this morning🙌🏼 a long way from being the last of all the dahlias 😵‍💫 but the front border is my pride and joy when it comes to Spring, so I’m excited to have a blank canvas to start planting 🌷

Chaos planting in this border has always given me LOTS of colour in Spring 😍 So the plan is to dig a trench and plant these bulbs in little clumps of 5 or 6, and then fill in the gaps with any that are left over!! I have no idea what any of the varieties are, apart from distinguishing between tulips, daffodils and muscari so it really is going to be chaos 😆

My latest order of new tulip varieties from Farmer Gracy is still safely tucked away, but I have these earmarked for filling my two large planters by the front door. Any left over will also go into the front border.

Farmer Gracy currently have UP TO 30% off, so if you’re still in the market for Spring bulbs there’s great savings to be had, and you can use my code to save extra ££ on top 💫

Digging my dahlias up in the middle of a storm seems to be becoming a bit of a trend for me😂😂😂 I did the same thing last year only I don’t think it was quite as bad as this morning’s weather 😆

It’s bitter here, and we currently have ‘Storm Boelo’ - all I could see were the poor dahlias in the front border getting battered, and all I could think about was the poor tubers rotting in the ground with the cold and wet - so out I went!!!

Still a few to dig up out the front but I made sure I secured all my favourites this morning❤️

Also featuring the huge vase of dahlias I went out and snipped off last night before the storm took them!!🌸🌼🌸🌼

I AM SO NOT READY TO LEAVE THIS BEHIND😭😭😭

The joy of cutting your own flowers from the garden after work 🩷🌸🌼

I made the decision this Kelvin had to go - I think at least one more of the remaining buds is going to flower, so as well as bringing this bloom in from the cold, it also gives him a chance to put out that last flower 💫

I’ve paired ‘Short Track’ with him for this vase display, as well as one of my seed dahlias and some foliage from the garden 🥰

My most prolific blooming dahlia bed in mid October 🤯💫

The dahlia varieties pictured here are:

Short Track
Ocean of Love
Tahiti Sunrise
Crazy Love
Kogane Fubuki
Red Labyrinth

This bed was giving me anxiety in July as they were still so short, and even though there had been a few blooms I never expected them to grow as much!

This is one of my many examples of my ‘chaos planting’ 😂 and I just adore how all the colours contrast!🌸🌼
