Our Kent Garden. 12th October '25. #Davidaustinroses #Dahlias #Flowers #Fuchsia gall mite.

Today's video is a walk around the garden on a lovely Autumnal Sunday afternoon in Kent. As the weather's been so dry recently I've taken the oportunity to start work on changing the garden a bit. That'll be digging up some plants to move and sadly getting shot of some others; Fuchsias in particular. The Fuchsias I've got rid of had Fuchsia Gall Mite. I think it's something that's been imported on plant material from South America. There are remedies/control measures but they're costly, repetitive and not guaranteed to work. Fortunately, at the moment, not all my Fuchsias have the gall mite so those I might treat with something in the Spring. All that apart the garden is now a work in progress.
