Nature notes

Mild wet and very windy up from the south, so mild that, when I went downstairs to get a bedtime drink last night, I found that the cats had brought a frog in, and were just sitting around looking at it.

And while a few clear cool nights have just about ended the tomatoes for the year, it was only a couple of days ago I picked the last couple of properly ripe fruit off the Alicante in the greenhouse. The chilis are still going wild, and we're just getting the first capsicums ripening.

And of course even the tender plants like the fuchsia are going strong.
