Another gorgeous day at Houghton, late summer sun keeping on and actually quite hot whilst working. We still need to water and keep things going as it has been so long since we had a real downpour.
I had a go at clipping the topiary Peacock today, shaping the fan tail and the 'bowl' it sits in. It looked much neater, whilst Andrew slashed back massive nettles which were out of control.
It was good to see the edging I had done last week along the long border which looks a much better shape and much neater for the visitors. I tidied the Vinca away which was out of control along the edge of the Peacock garden and Andrew trimmed the Pyracantha gothic archway into shape.
It will soon be time to pull things up and start planting bulbs but until then it is lovely to see the late summer sun on the last colours of the Marigolds and Salvia. Another satisfying day.
