Here we are now in Autumn in my Zone 8 garden in Essex, on the South East Coast of England.

I’m so pleased it’s finally cooled down after what has been the hottest summer for so many of us around the Northern Hemisphere.

I’ve had a few casualties - plants which just couldn’t make it through the heat - but by and large everything has made it through and, after a bit of very welcome rain, the garden has breathed a sigh of relief and can start to go into hibernation over the coming months. And I too feel like I need to do the same!

I’m very pleased with all the projects I managed to complete this gardening year, all of course with the help of my wonderful Richard. I couldn’t have done it all without him.

As I say at the end of this video, because my garden is small, I feel like I’m running out of content to share with you all … and I always want my videos to be interesting for everyone … and I don’t want to subject you all to yet another set of videos of me just clearing away the inevitable mountain of leaves which will soon be coming my way … or planting yet more bulbs for Spring. I find all those jobs my least favourite to do, and I think they must be quite dull to watch 😊 and there are so many other garden YouTube videos you could be watching. 😊

So, I’ve decided I need to take a bit of a break from YouTube, to recharge my batteries. I’ll still be gardening of course, and I’ll still post videos, but it won’t be on such a regular basis like I’ve managed to do for almost 3 years.

One of the things I’ve enjoyed the most about having my channel is making so many wonderful fabulous friends with everyone who watches. We have so many great chats in the comments section, I appreciate each and every one of you SO much.

So … I will still be around, just not quite as often. I’ll try and step up my game on Instagram, so I can keep in touch and let you know what’s going on here in my garden in Essex, England.

My love to you all, and I really do thank you all for always watching and … as I always say … have fun in your gardens 🍀😉

Janette, The Enthusiastic Gardener
