On the other hand...the seed falling from the wildflowers, the corncockle in particular, has already germinated. I fear the first frost will wipe these seedlings out and hopefully enough seed will still be on the ground for flowers next year.

Pippa, you would be envious of the wonderful harvest in the Mediterranean Vegetable garden. Even the sweet and hot peppers have performed this year and squashes of every shape and colour, ridge cucumbers, and beans galore in many varities. Sweet corn ripening nicely and a good crop. But the thing that had me drooling today was picking the black pears. I remember their white, fine textured flesh from last Xmas and this year the tree was laden and they are twice as big!
I'm loving the warm start to Autumn.
As a first time gardener I've feel that I'm slightly late with everything, so this warm weather is great. I've still got carnations grown from seed showing promise that they might even flower
