My poor little garden is looking slightly neglected at the moment *snif*

The vegetable patch is a mass of overgrown weeds, with a single, huge pumpkin plant taking over half of it, but only one pumpkin to show for all its vigour. The rhubarb is doing nicely and I should get a last harvest out of it at the weekend. As for the rest, it's rather disappointing all round.

My Japanese maple is still in leaf, but more and more green as time passes. My geraniums are suffering with leaf-rot, I suspect, my roses are fading and the lawn is in need of some trimming. My apple tree is bursting with lovely, big, plump red apples ... 90% of which are infested. The thyme has taken over the herb garden, and the chives are getting difficult to distinguish from the grass growing through it. My currant bushes are looking tired and my raspberry bushes are drooping.

I'll just have to roll up my sleeves next fine weekend and start freshening things up and getting ready for the winter.
