The 'scent' of winter is rapidly approaching as the day light hours become shorter.The main growing season is coming to a close. The memories of planting the young plants are begining to fade as most of the potatoes and all of the leeks have been lifted from the soil. Taken straight to the kitchen to be cooked and then served straight from the pan.
Irene's rose bush has flowered again. The bush revealing two beautiful deep red roses.' The rose bush sitting in the middle of the richly coloured heathers that have grown well since having been planted during the early summer months.
The insects are less visible in number now as the cold autum breeze drifts around the area. The leaves from the trees that hang high at the rear of the garden russtle in the breeze loosening the leaves that glide to the ground, gently falling, finally resting on to the soil below. This process feeding the 'hungry' soil that has given so much during the season allowing mother nature to be able to provide such wonderful plants. Namo Amida Bu. colin
So much has happened in just a few short months - how busy and productive you all - and the garden itself - have been.

much love and many greetings from our Albagnano gardens, we are now working with permaculture, puttting straw on the soil according to the systems of Emilia Hazelip which is :'synergetic agriculture' and Fukuoka from Japan. Do have a look on the www ( general not yeton ours) it is an amazingly buddhist ecological system respecting all micro organisms. And vegetables come without any ammoniac and so on, taste even better, also more in winter time. Do all keep well and namo from all of us here and there,
