Weary from Weeding

I have spent the week trying to get on top of my allotment as there are masses of weeds. I have made a start on the Artful Garden but I am busy harvesting and making chutneys and relishes in between gardening shifts.
Today is the first day of Autumn and there is definitely a chill in the air early in mornings and evenings.

The wild flowers on my allotment are now in full bloom.

Borage and calendula

Corncrake

Dill

I am harvesting my carrots that I have grown in a grow bag.

Tasty

I have a variety of phlox growing in my garden at home.

Variegated pink

White

Not many of the zinnias I grew from seed have survived.

Exotic

You can see how poached egg plants get their name.

One egg or two?

Japanese anemone.

These grow rampant in my garden

The farmer's are harvesting the wheat.

Ears of corn
