Bonfire night special



Hollyhocks in flower isn't what you expect for the 5th of November, but that's what I've got and the nasturtiums are still going strong as well. There isn't really all that much else going on. I have parsnips but won't pick any until after the first frost and I also have cabbages and the purple sprouting broccoli.




Just picked cabbage, the excess leaves go on the compost heap and it's getting a bit whiffy. The ground is quite damp so that was my excuse for not sorting out the rest of the strawberry bed. It seems the raspberries have finally stopped fruiting now. The rhubarb has died back but the artichokes look stronger than ever at the moment, both will need covering when the weather gets colder.
