The veg patch is looking very mellow at the moment. I planted some more beans at the end of July in the hope that I’ll be in time for a quick harvest before the frosts - I do it every year, as if to dare the weather. Three years ago I lost all my dahlias one night, thanks to a very early frost in the middle of September. It does happen and when it comes, changes the look of the garden instantly. All the tender plants and lush green leaves turn into bedraggled nothings, las if a bad fairy’s waved her wand at them in the night.
