Autumn Harvests


Had an afternoon wander out to Llanerchaeron again today - caught the last day of their 'apple festival' and had the usual tour of the gardens, although must say they are looking distinctly autumnal now.






Everything has a vague air of decay about it - our own main veg plot has yielded up what is probably going to be the last of its bounty.





The butternut squash harvest wasn't particularly impressive in the end mind you (especially given the way the plants spread!)


There are still some rather mangy looking sprout plants (which I'm not holding out much hope for) in the main veg plot - plus leeks in the smaller veg plot (which still have a bit of growing to do, but are looking much more promising).

Got a bit of tidying up to do otherwise, but we did do the hedges a couple of weeks back - just hoping the relatively warm weather we're having doesn't encourage another growth spurt on their part!
