ah yes, the asters are blooming, the gadioli have been cut back, the iris and freesia beds have been fed. The wedding day rose survived its midsummer move and has decided to double its size in a month. The new dublin bay has buds on it. The tomatoes are gently ripening and the zuchinni just cant grow fast enough to feed us. The apple tree is dropping fruit and the pans are ready to make the first batch of apple butter for the year.
