I’m looking out at a very stormy Halloween day and feeling smug that I got my six photos taken yesterday. This week, I’ll focus mostly on seasonal foliage, but a few late blooms will sneak in too. First this week is the wonderful colour of radicchio. Looks great in the slowly emptying veg beds and tastes great as a bitter component of a stir fry or pasta sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, some Halloween colour from the changing hardy geranium leaves. There’s a whole gamut of colour here, from green, through yellow to rusty red. It’s almost meditative to just consider one leaf at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While I’m showing off leaves, here’s a mixed bag from the lawn. These do need sweeping up today, but storm Aiden is encouraging me to stay indoors and watch them swirl around instead. The leaves are a mix from garden trees including whitebeam, prunus and birch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last of this week’s leafiness is from the hazel tree. Leaves are still in place (just), but the new catkins are coming. This tree had a fair number of fruit this year, but the nuts are all long gone, taken by the cheeky little red squirrels that regularly visit the garden (one day, I’ll get a decent enough photo of them to post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now for the flowers. I’m glad I moved a couple of dahlia into the greenhouse. This one has now flowered nicely and there are more buds, so hoping for a bit of sun to bring them on next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And to add some seasonal colour, nasturtium are still going strong in a warm corner, you have to love them, I certainly do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
