Almost time to put the garden to bed........October flower beds are beginning to die back into the soil.

October

Edward Thomas. 

"The green elm with the one great bough of gold 

Lets leaves  into the grass slip, one by one, -

The short hill grass, the mushrooms small milk-white........

.......And the wind travels too slow to shake the fallen beech leaves from the fern......"   

(extract)

Our neighbour's beautiful tree. 

The plants in my borders are fading. Seed heads ripening

Last of my sunflowers
