Garden photographs
The last of the roses. The trunk of the rose bush is bare and autumnal but at the very top are these red beauties.
Today I harvested the pumpkins, weeded in in the gap they left and around the gooseberry and kale plants, and planted irises.
I hoed the garden around the new kale and mulched it with pea straw.
Lemons: this is lemon balm.
This is the lemon verbena which look about to die completely last year. Now I need to find some uses for these two herbs.
The rampant zucchini, seemingly about to colonise the entire lean-to.
The pumpkin harvest. Only one is from deliberately planted seed; the other two are evidence that pumpkin seeds do not die off in bokashi.

I also once made a lemon balm vinagrette for asparagus that I found on the internet. It was yum but I didn't keep it as I didn't have a lemon balm plant at the time so I didn't see the point.
- green peppers (capsicums)
- chilli shrub seeds
- brocoli
Maybe its just my system, but I find it wonderful that wee little seeds somehow have enough life to spring forth in the compost... and you never know what's going to pop up!
