I love autumn and spring; the light is so fresh and clean on a clear day and the outlines and colours so clearly defined. With just a small garden, here, in the heart of the Wiltshire traffic jam, sorry, countryside, it's difficult to find room for the plants on my wish-list, indeed, with soil that would not disgrace the clay pot industry, a good proportion of my wish-list is impossible to grow, unless I plant in pots...and trees, a priority for me, don't take so kindly to pots - added to which, the necessity of regular watering, means they are difficult to leave - I used to have a watering system, but they were banned here last year, and this year, for some reason, I didn't need it! I could put it back next year, but 'sods law' says as soon as it stops raining they'll be banned again.
It doesn't take a gardening guru to tell us that this autumn has been and still is being spectacular. My own few Acers have been a pleasure to behold and if you haven't managed to see the Acers at Westonbirt you missed a treat and if you have managed to see them you know what I mean.
