Pre-winter North London news

A big thanks to Debby H in north London for sending us a few pictures in this time leading up to winter. That nice autumn sunshine period may have gone but her garden is carrying on regardless.
She wrote, “Our only cosmos (above) that thrived has still got a few flowers, as do the geraniums (below) Unfortunately, neither of these plants will survive after the frost that we are expecting later this week.” Fingers crossed the frosts bypass us all.

“One of our self-seeded tomato plants (below) has also decided to flower. Too late though, unless we bring it indoors.” That is crazy Debby, a tomato flowering in November!

“Finally, our strelitzia (bird of paradise) flower looks as though it will actually open!”
Brilliant stuff Debby, the pictures give us all a bit of hope what with the horrible weather on its way. Fingers crossed we don’t get that bad a winter. Good luck with the bird of paradise!
