Autumn Sunday...

The sunshine shining on the changing colours of the leaves.
First signs of autumn in our garden today.
~
Still some colour remaining in the hydrangea.
~
The teazels are ready to brush your velvet with!!
~
Raindrop-catching nasturtiums shining at us.
~
Lupin seed preparing themselves for another year.
~
Our red cabbage ready to pick. The first time we have grown them.
~
A last, lonely autumn raspberry.
~
Windfalls
~
The last sorry-looking tomatoes.
Very disappointed with my tomatoes this year. Had 6 plants, but most of the fruit just went black and were completely inedible. After my great success last year (in a different greenhouse) I was not very happy, so will have to think anew for next season.
~
Signs of new growth already appearing in the lavender.
~
Other Half's begonias just keep on flowering and flowering. They continue in to winter and keep up a cheerful batch of colour by the drab garage.
~
We spent the morning, cutting down, pruning, digging up, clearing up and sweeping up.
Hope you have had a happy autumn Sunday.
~
