Wet Saturday Morning in my Garden

It is a wet and cloudy Saturday / Lauantai morning, yet warmer than the previous days.

I’ll take you on a tour in my September garden. Our house is situated
in the middle of the property. First we look at the terrace and lawn side to the west.

I cut down this parthenocissus in July, too late actually.

But it has grown beautifully to the arch. Behind you see an Aralia elata 

showing already some autumn color.

This thuja ’Smaragd’ was growing in a big pot on the terrace and

I planted it into the ground yesterday. Also lime mummularias have been planted

in the ground for winter. I use them in the sommer in big pots with summer flowers.

Behind the thuja and aralia there is our small lawn and a rose shrub area. And my flat granite.

I got these two big rocks from the opposite neighbour when they were building their house.

To the left from the granite there is another rose shrub area with sedums in front of them.

In front of our terrace there is a flower border. Right now Symphyotrichum novi-belgii is 

blooming beautifully but  Calamagrostis x acutiflora 'Karl Foerster’ is not totally open yet.

At the other side of the garden there is a little pool, a lot of different shrubs and planting areas, 

no lawn, only paths. There is also a pergola with Humulus lupulus ’Aurea’ and parthenocissus.

I wish you liked the tour. As Saturday is in Finnish Lauantai, my

photos suit for Tom’s Weekend Roundup starting with ’L’!
And my favourite would be the expression Lazy Saturday - Lazy Lauantai :))
Sorry, have to combine these two languages!
