Pleasures

“I’M SO GLAD I LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE THERE ARE OCTOBERS” L. M. Montgomery,

| gaiainaction
It was a mellow October afternoon and I decided to plant out some spinach seedlings which I still had growing in a pot. I had a wander through the rest of the garden and saw that there is actually quite a lot of winter produce doing well, and it pleased me. I also saw how beautiful everything looked, the colours, the autumn shades which are wonderful. An October sun illuminated everything. It was a perfect afternoon.
  • Our winter leeks
  • Huge kale plants
  • A few beet leaf
Glorious colours of the hydrangea even after the summer.
  • I will grow these beautiful Rudbeckia again
  • The Mediterranean oak tree in full colour
  • Another oregano plant
  • Italian flat-leaved parsley
  • A type of catnip
  • Lemon thyme
  • Our lavender bushes
  • A new hydrangea
  • Some of our produce
There is so much to find growing even at this time of the year, and it will do so during the winter months thanks to the gulfstream which gives us a very mild climate.
Pleasure can be gained both from tending to the garden and growing some things, or from just having a wander around.

Enjoy a lovely weekend everyone, and I would love to hear about your autumn garden too.
