Autumn Is Here

Despite the sunny picture on the right autumn is well and truly here, we found that out on Monday! Being the sort of girls not to be put off by a little rain we dutifully turned up and started work pulling ivy off the estate walls, this is the only job to be done if the weather is really foul. Two hours later we were on our way home considerably wetter than when we arrived. Next time I think I'll just turn over in bed and wait for a better day. Luckily we fared better today when we started the big autumn cut back. This is a chance to get hands on with the plants again, see how they have grown over the season, divide any that require it and collect seeds as we go. This is a time of year and a job we all enjoy to start with although by the time we have cut back the whole garden it does begin to pall a little, then we will turn our attention once more to the woods.
