October Colour.

We still have colour in the garden. I commented a couple of weeks ago that I thought we should get more roses flowering - and here they are, taken this afternoon;

Your garden is a true riot of colours! Also: yay, Caravaggio! I've missed him!

Those hamantaschen look really appetizing. What are they made of when they are authentic?

[curiouswombat]

I have ordered him a new bike ready for the winter winds as the wheels on the current ones are already beginning to look a bit tatty.

As far as I can tell there are a few slightly different recipes for the hamantaschen dough, but they all seem to be more of a biscuit dough, either rather like shortbread or a dough with eggs in. I thought shortcrust might cope better with children trying to fold the corners up and pressing them together without it splitting. So they were a bit like a jam tart, but the children decided they were very good to eat!

Caravaggio! He has such a lovely place to cycle through.

LOL, all hamantaschen are good hamantaschen.

He seems a happy wee turtle :)

The children enjoyed making, and eating our version of the hamantaschen, definitely.

Still so many colours in your garden! But are Michaelmas daisies the ones which spread like mad?

[curiouswombat]

I'm really happy with the amount of colour there is in the garden still. The Michaelmas daisies with stay in their clump, they aren't very invasive; you can take cuttings, or divide the root ball, but if I just trim it in the spring it should more or less stay where it is.

Lovely roses! I do love how you can keep dividing sedums and get more of them :)

[curiouswombat]

I am really pleased with the roses - especially the pink one, Queen of Sweden, as she was moved, back in the spring, but seems to have settled well into her new place.

I think I will leave the sedums as they are at present, as they are new, but then I will have a go at dividing them.

Your garden, and roses, are gorgeous, as always!

Thank you. It makes me very happy just sitting knitting and looking out the window :)
