Took this photo in Russell Square in central London today which clearly shows the confused seasons.
The summer geraniums are still flowering beautifully whilst the leaves are turning a lovely Autumn colour .
If you want to catch some gorgeous late flowering Exotic plants visit Will Giles garden in Norwich this Sunday 23rd October for his final 2011 open day http://www.exoticgarden.com/public-opening-times.php
Time to start thinking about how to protect tender plants from the cold and wet that I presume will eventually arrive in the South over the next few weeks .These sunny October days have been a delight for plants and lets hope we dont get the harsh winter that is predicted again. http://www.bbc.co.uk/gardening/basics/techniques/growflowers_protectingplants1.shtml

Debbie - who has written 872 posts on My Climate Change Garden.
I am not an experienced gardener - more of an enthusiastic amateur who learns by trial and error and who is keen to "manage" the effects of shifting weather patterns on my garden.
Writing this blog is my passion and it has evolved over 12 years to inspire engagement with climate change outside our back doors, in our personal gardens and green spaces.
My mission is to fertilise and expand this platform to grow a community of global gardeners communicating about the effects of climate change on our plants and exploring how each individual can make small changes in our lives to become more sustainable.
The future of our gardens and #OurPlanet is in our hands - please plant your own seeds for our collective sustainable future.
