Halloween Happenings

I spent Monday morning setting up the Halloween display in the Artful Garden.
Halloo Cat is new for this year.

Stare if you dare

All the scarecrows are wearing witches hats and this season's noses.

This does nothing for my street cred

I have hung up some wreaths in the cherry tree. They are similar to the ones I made with the school children. As the leaves dry they change shape.

I have been busy catching up on weeding. I have planted my garlic and onions.

Halloween Happenings 2

Two glorious hot days at the start of this week meant I could catch up on all my gardening and start to pull up the thistles on my new allotment. So far I have filled 4 large compost bags with thistles and willowherb. Since then we have had very heavy rain.

Halloween has taken the Artful Garden by storm. 

If you dare taste a red apple but remember what happened to Snow White!

Rosy and red but .......

 A cobweb hangs on the gate, a taste of what is in store.

Webs and bunting

You can glimpse lanterns, apples and a pumpkin but beware of the spiders and webs of intrigue.

How many apples can you see?

A giant cobweb is suspended near Uno Recycleo. Can you see the spiders? Uno Recycleo has joined in the Halloween spirit. Spiderweb bunting blows in the chilly breeze.
