OUTDOORS 6

Here you can see how angled the fall of the rose arch is - it doesn't perhaps look this bad from indoors. The aim is to clear the bindweed, remove the broken arch, and tie the pruned roses to the house/tree.

In the poly tunnel, you can see that late October offers the last few tomatoes of the season along with a little parsley still. On the other side, you can see my cauliflower seedlings are doing well - both potted and unpotted. I plan to take 4 down the plot to grow direct in the ground under 'plastic bottle' green housing, and around a dozen in the poly tunnel in pots once the tomatoes are completely finished. You can also see one of my 4 chili plants and some chives.

On the back table you will find 2 potted onions, the last of the basil, a few more tomatoes, 2 turnips...

Outdoors, and autumn is beginning to need my attention. The former bird feeding table cum hedgehog hut is ready to cover in small branches and twines and other garden debris in the hope to attract a hedgehog resident for hibernation - while under the smaller eating apple tree most foliage is dying for the year. The plan in this area, adjacent to the hedgehog habitat, is to saw down the apple tree to a stump and plant a cherry tree in front...

In spring, the bulbs and other plants should brighten the area up once more until our next fall arrives. The decision to remove the smaller tree is based on the fact I have sufficient bramleys to cook with and the eating apples are too small to eat mostly so need to be cooked anyway. Also, I do not havea  cherry tree and prefer cherries. Whether or not this transfer will occur in this year or next, I don't know though...
