Half way through October, we have been very busy taking in the rest of the autumn harvest. Picking the apples, some to store and making 100 bottles of juice with the rest. Pasteurised they will supply our breakfast juice for the next year.
I love autumn, cool, sunny and dry days are the best and the colours are amazing.
Lots of colour in the garden from asters dahlias sedum and the leaves of many plants.
As the leaves loose their chlorophyll the colours start to emerge. Many of the plant we grow are for the autumn colour.
The Spetchley Red vine is lovely on the arch in the walled garden so I have taken some cuttings and started to plant them around the pergola uprights on the new patio.
Blueberries always give lovely colour at this time of year this variety is especially red and called Brigitta
Even the gooseberries give a lovely colour before the leaves eventually die.
