After a simply stunning spring and summer the days are shortening and the temperatures falling.
This year has been different but very enjoyable in the garden. Time to experiment and witness surprises. Certainly in the autumn garden the biggest surprise has been the Rudbeckia and the very late flowering zinnias.
The vegetable garden is now focusing on the winter. A few courgette but mainly sprouts and cabbages
The old herb garden is a little overgrown but I’ve enjoyed the abundance of colours through the year
Chillis are ripening as are the last of the tomatoes. Having experimented with different varieties certainly the red cherry, manzano, and tigerella have been exceptional this year.
