🍁🧡Turning Colder 🍂🍁

The wind is really picking up and the temperature going down .

I made a quick dash out into the garden to gather a few nice vegetables .

Then scoot into the woodshed for some kinding .....Robin followed me !

Our winter vegetables are coming along nicely and I just picked enough for the two of us today .

Ricardo brought in a wheelbarrow load of big logs for the fire and is repairing and painting the shed and hoping that it isn't going to rain just yet !

 I'm very happy with my Jaune du Poitou Leeks .

 I have some Blue de Solaise for later on they are the more cold hardy ones .

 

 My beetroot did quite well this year . I love beetroot ! 💜 Yum ! I especially like them roasted or in a casserole .❤️

I am glad that now the colder weather has arrived the brassicas wont be bothered by cabbage white butterflies that slipped through the netting . I hand picked a large colony of snails hiding under the plank of wood that holds the netting down .🐌

 My Curly wurly Kale has really suffered during the Summer heat and drought....I almost gave up on them , but they are starting to flourish again . I took a few leaves from them .

I just picked a few of the Greyhound cabbage leaves and left the rest to grow on .

Elevenses - toast and marmalade . Then got the fire going .

We'll get off for a walk later on ...... maybe a MacDonalds tea for me and coffee for Ricardo ,and have our picnic watching the Canadian Geese flying off in a wonderful honking and hooting formation from the Boating Lake in Helston . I'm told that they fly off to roost for the night at the Marazion Marshes and that these don't migrate .

   Now that I've got the fire going and we've had lunch , Ricardo is fast asleep in his armchair .

          Maybe we'll just have a cosy afternoon at home after all  . 😊

                          Hope you're keeping warm where ever you are !
