October, you're moving too fast!

It's almost half of October and I'm still halfway gardening our plot. 

Now, in autumn I can only go there at weekends, and the visit of course depends on the weather. 

Last weekend kids stayed home so I went to the plot alone. 

Unfortunately, it was drizzling all day so I didn't do all that I had planned before. 

I uprooted the annuals that were left. I had hoped before to save a lot of seeds, but I didn't save as much as I wanted - all because of rain, seed-pots were rotting instead of drying. 

I planted some new and replanted some of my old perennials and I still have several shrubs to plant. 

I dug up all gladioli bulbs and several dahlia tubers - I still have about several dozen dahlias to dig up, but I'm waiting for the first frost to come. 

I picked some sunflowers and made the last bouquets with late marigolds.

 The orange ones are fantastic - and they're called Fantastic :)

I think it's the last bunch of dahlias. 

I'm going to miss these fancy dahlia bouquets I was making all summer.

If there weren't any asters planted in the garden, it would be sad and gloomy right now. 

I bought more shades of pink, purple and blue.

Sunny day in the garden

Yesterday (after several weeks of rainy weather), we finally visited our plot.
We were lucky because it was a lovely, sunny day :)

Every year when autumn comes I always wait for asters.

They can have so many flowers on a plant that they look (especially the white one) like split feather pillow. 

Dahlias, I think, didn't even notice that autumn had come, because they're flowering like mad!

I will show you all my dahlias another time. 

Autumn asters and chrysanthemums // Jesienne astry i chryzantemy

 Well, I have some autumn photos to post here today.

 I took them two months ago, and now when the views outside my windows are sad and dreary it's really nice to look at flowers bathed in sunlight.

The queens of autumn :)

Mam Wam dzisiaj do pokazania kilka jesiennych zdjęć.

Zrobiłam je dwa miesiace temu, i teraz gdy za oknami jest smutno i ponuro - miło popatrzeć na kwiaty skąpane w słońcu.

Królowe jesieni :)
