    I have cut back some of my hellebore leaves some had aphids on the undersides so thought I would cut them back. This is normally a problem that can occur in spring.
    I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.

    Raked up a few more leaves on Saturday to bag up to make (I hope) some leaf mould, but that’s all the gardening I did. Of course, there are more leaves on the grass since I did that so the rake will be busy later in the week if the rain holds off.

    Scrubbed the wooden sleepers edging the steps down from my car parking area into the garden.
    Watered the greenhouse.
    Picked the last of the apples, everyone has been pecked at.
    Picked some more tomatoes. 
    Found an azalea in flower, totally out of season.
    Found a geum in full flower, a lovely splash of acidic yellow.
    Went for a beach walk with daughter and dog. Coffee in Heligan on the way home.

    You really do have a different climate there @Joyce Goldenlily here it's full on start of winter. The tomatoes have been ripened in the house for the last two weeks, and the last are being eaten today. Apples were finished weeks ago. It's rained for 10 days, and due to get to freezing this week. Everything is too wet to touch.

    I started pruning the shrubs in the border at the back of the house yesterday and today nearly finished. Just got the climbing rose to tie in. I feel more virtuous than when I do the ironing  o:)

    I have been surprised at how warm the greenhouse has been on some days lately. It has definitely cooled down now. I must admit, the tomato plants do not look pretty! They are very straggly, no leaves, pale and wan, but the tomatoes have still been ripening.
    Torrential rain last night with gales so perhaps autumn has finally arrived properly.
