End of October

As the weather gently changes through October I feel I should think about the successes of the garden, and the things that did not go so well.

Without a mole along the wall the runner beans, sunflowers tomatoes and ornamental gourds would have had a better start and maybe would have been more successful, however, the runner beans were great later than everyone else's and there were plenty of tomatoes, although I ended up picking the last ones green to ripen later. 

Need more veg plots, as the strawberries seem to be taking over the root plot, still have potatoes in the ground so that plot is not dug, roots still in so that is not dug and the brassicas are all going well so that is not dug. Need to get digging on the beans plot and feel I have done something!

I am still enamoured with the colours of the leaves on the trees.

Someone said that one night in November there will be a wind and the leaves will loose almost all their leaves, no doubt it is tru, but for not how lovely it this?
