Wet and Weeding

There has been strong gales and heavy rain this week but I have managed  some gardening in between the showers. I have got my allotment weeded. I am still harvesting kale, sprouts and leeks. The runner beans and raspberries have come to an end.

I have a good crop of leeks

In my garden at home there are still flowers in bloom. Red asters.

Bright pink

Nerines give a splash of pink.

Pink exotics

A bears paw.

Beware of the bear

Some lupins have come back into flower.

A pretty white lupin

The bright red bistort makes a splash of colour.

Lichen on a gate stoop.

Wonderful colours

This oak tree has split its trunk but is still alive.

Can you see a female torso?
