The nights drawing in mean less time on the plot, just when I need it. Still, managed to plant the garlic, clear a bed and get a few beans.

Last of the summer tomatoes, decent cauliflowers

Clearing the last of the tomatoes and accepting the summer is over, but a surprise crop of rather good cauliflowers
