Winter garden.


Autumn colour at the big pond November 26th.

Harvesting sweet potatoes in the big tunnel November14th.

Just picked apples November 17th.

Time to be pick kiwis.

They will go in the fridge for a few weeks to ripen!

Mallow, December 20th.
 The unseasonably warm (and wet) December weather has kept lots of flowers blooming on and on.

Nicotiana December 20th.
Also blooming are Alstomerias, foxglove, evening primrose, angelica, escallonia bifida, honesty, Kerria japonica... as well as the less surprising last few roses, hydrangeas, calendula, erysimum... even autumn raspberries continue on.

While December has been warm it has also been VERY wet and windy, the small tunnel plastic, after 18 years of life, finally succumbed to the wind mid-month and one storm after another is delaying it's replacement.  Photos will follow in time.
