What's Looking Good in October 2023

[Tetters]

Those roses are great Logan. Afraid most of mine have suffered a bit again this year. Black spot needs a bit of handling, and I haven't been able to keep on top of it. Just getting over the heart attack, and now a small stroke, and 10 hours surgery Never mind, I will get to it again as soon as I can - where there's life there's hope aye. Your pictures also remind me I also have more lavender to trim up - they soon get straggly otherwise don't they. Can't wait to get back out there

Is this recently or earlier in the year.
Yes the lavender does get straggly if the flowering stems haven't been cut back and thanks about my roses, i don't bother with the black spots but some varieties get it more than others.

Surgery a week ago on the carotid artery - was still in HDU and came home Thursday evening. I need to get back to my garden, - I was just getting on top of the weeding and mulching, and it needs finishing off before the winter. I need to get my muscles working again.
Thank goodness for Zigs! Feel a bit like Frankenstein's monster at the mo, but the plants won't mind that - but enough of high jacking the thread aye don't want to get told off.

I hope that you recover quickly Tetters.
Cosmos still going well.

You're a tough cookie to crack @Tetters and glad to hear you're fighting back. Get well soon.

 

[Tetters]

Cheers Sheal, tomorrow the stairs.... and then the big outdoors but for now sleep!

 

[Sheal]

Onwards and upwards, or should I say downwards for the stairs. Take it gently.

 

[Tetters]

Down OK. Big plaster off the wound. Sod all jobs done, back up a nightmare. Look like Frankenstein's monster - scar from ear to shoulder bone. I shall have to wear a bag over my head now or else I'll scare the neighbours..... mind you, that might not be so bad

 

[Sheal]

Time's early yet @Tetters. You won't need the bag, Halloween's not far off.

Are you testing me @zigs ? I think it's a Dahlia but the leaves are a bit 'moth eaten' to tell.

Yes, but not a Duck a Hooded Crow.
