2020 Calendar

October



As usual the tomato plant nearest the hotbin is bigger than the other 3 put together.



Peas have been replaced by pots of flowers and all the apples have now been harvested.



The huge "dwarf" cosmos is really superb, but makes taking a photo very hard! Salad leaves under the 2 nets, carrots, calabrese and Kale in the carrot cage. The tomatoes in the growhouse have nearly finished.



All the potatoes have now been harvested.



Cucumbers are looking very sorry for themselves but there are a few small fruit that are still edible. Sungold tomatoes on the left have nearly finished. There is still one balconi tomato that is covered in green fruit near the fence - the other inexplicably died.

November



The tomatoes have gone now and the leaves are rapidly disappearing from the acer, which has been gorgeous this year.



Quite pleased with my pots of flowers near the fence (cosmos and dahlias).



The huge cosmos still has plenty of flowers and buds. Salad leaves and carrots under nets. The tomatoes have gone from the growhouse and have been replaced with strawberries.




More strawberries on the shelves, with carrots and cabbage under.



Veg garden is looking empty now with just the herbs on the path and some empty buckets. There are a few lettuces on the shelf behind the arch which were chucked out of the house as they had aphids.

December

Sorry for the dark pictures - the sun was very bright and the garden was in the shade.



Leaves have gone from the bushes and everything is starting to look wintery.



Pots have been taken in off the fence for overwintering. Still a few late flowers on the antirrhinums.



Cosmos still looking surprisingly alive. Salad leaves and carrots under the nets.




Everything looking very empty here, the water trays need emptying and putting away before it gets too cold.


More empty pots. The clematis on one side of the arch has died, but may recover next year. The arch desperately needs painting.
