I have been out and about with my camera, and felt I had to share the Fall Flowerings on my Blog.
A whole lot of nasturtiums have appeared from nowhere and clambered up around John's tomato plants - seen from a distance there are heaps of blossoms, but up close it was hard to capture both flowers and tomatoes - though there is a spider in its web in the middle of the picture if you look hard ....
....... and this is how it looks from the other side of the balcony .......
.Since John dug up and we have enjoyed his superb potatoes, he has planted out Swiss Chard in their place - we have never tried this before, and I have no idea what you do with it, but I'm sure Delia will enlighten me.
Our roses have done particularly well this year, and are still looking wonderful .......
And while lush fruits fill the branches of our flowering cherry - falling daily on to our drive where they form a rather unpleasant red mass reminiscent of Waterloo after the Battle .....
We are reminded that winter is not too far away when we see holly berries already forming.....
Still, there are a few weeks to go yet before winter, and the forecast for the coming week speaks of really warm weather coming up from the Continent to stay with us for a while. And anyway, we hope to be in hot, sunny Australia for Christmas and a chunk of cold old January!
