Tidying the garden

A major clear of the back garden today with the dwarf beans pulled up, the last of the potatoes dug up, courgette plants cleared and the last of the corn harvested.


The cobs were cleaned up and bagged for the freezer with some smaller ones kept for our salad for tea.


The runner beans will be uprooted tomorrow which will only leave the leeks and a few beetroot.


There's still colour from the poppies which spring up everywhere.



The Chinese lanterns are looking particularly vibrant nestled amongst their leaves. I shall pick them for displaying sometime. Autumn cometh.

  4. The sweetcorn looks beautiful! I treated myself to a couple of Chinese Lantern plants, they're only tiny, but at £1 each I thought they were worth a try, hopefully this time next year they'll look great.
