Garden situation, late October






We have inherited a good lot of irises from the previous owners, of which these are the lairiest,





















These pale ones also have a subtle charm!
















We were kindly given some yellow flags by a friend and despite most of the water exiting the pond in which we placed them we now have some beautiful flowers to look at across the lawn.












In the vegie department we have a good crop of onions beginning to appear as well as several varieties of garlic. Needless to say there are also weeds which Frances removes!











This is an overview of the legume area. It was under the yellow box shown in http://franmart.blogspot.com/2007/09/persons-at-work.html so is really a remarkable recovery. Notice that the supervisor is still on the job!



We have several varieties of peas and they are all producing heavily. This is far and away the best we have ever done with them, despite their pounding from the fallen tree. This section are snow peas.
The potatoes are really hitting their straps. They are growing faster than we can mound them up again. Fortunately we have some straw to dump on them to slow them up a bit.
