Muddy helper

 Here is our biggest pumpkin. I hope the trowel helps to get an idea of the size.
I have to report that William`s pumpkin has well and truly surpassed this. Photo of him next time.

The Michaelmus daisies are drawing out the butterflies. Unfortunately they are mainly Cabbage Whites which flit from these flowers to our brocolli to lay their eggs.....all on one site.!!

 We`ve only just started the autumn clearing so where`s the next lot going. 
Think its time for a fourth compost heap.

 Don`t know where this raspberry cane came from but its a good strong plant. We hope to transfer it to the fruit net next time it rains.

 The Bellis daisies are flowering their hearts out. Hope they have strength to last the winter 
and flower again in spring

 Finally just in case Helen`s friends wondered why she took so long having a shower, it was because she had decided to make sure it was worthwhile!! Thanks for the help Helen.
