What a week of contrasts; balmy autumn days to violent wind & rain. The upside is that the last of the apples have been stripped from the trees & are now nestled cosily amongst the leaves & geraniums in the composter. The dogs are delighted with the medlars hidden in the grass at the base of the tree & spend happy hours foraging for a treat. The garden rings to the sound of power tools blowing, strimming & mulching, a petrol head's delight. The white of the iris have been settled in the soil in anticipation of the season to come. Hopefully a cold snap will provide the few weeks respite required for the plants to go dormant & recouperate their strengh!
