Autumn Harvest

There is something tremendously satisfying in growing your own veg. Tonight we finished the last of our Desiree potatoes. They tasted great fried with a bit of onion and garlic.

The curly kale is growing well. Not sure how I'm going to cook it.
















I'm very pleased with the carrots, it is the first time I've managed to grow any without carrot fly or other foes eating them. I think I should have thinned them out though.

The carrot tops are going to a good home!

There are plenty of these about, they seem to like the spinach.









Meanwhile, in the front garden there is plenty of life...a Red Admiral sunning himself on the gravel.

The garden is looking more how I imagined it now.

This is Thomas' Rowan tree after 3 years it's starting to look pretty good.

The Cornus Alba is looking amazing. I hope to take cuttings from that soon.  It tried last year let's just say the success rate was 1/20...
