Shutting up Shop for Winter

By Mwillis
I haven't posted anything here for ages, so you probably guessed this: I'm shutting up my blog for the Winter.
My garden looks bedraggled and messy at present, and there is very little for me to write about. Who wants to see photos of my last few tomatoes, still holding out against the encroaching Blight?

My remaining cucumber plants are still producing a few fruits, but they are not very appealing!

We've already made a few jars of Sweet Chilli Sauce, so even the incentive to pick more of the chilli crop is much reduced now.

Fortunately, just as the gardening season tails off, the best time of year for my other hobby - fungi-hunting - begins. This is what I'll be doing for the next few months. Thanks for following, and see you next Spring!

Amanita muscaria - Fly Agaric
