Blight struck our tomatoes so we stripped off the fruit which I hope will continue to ripen.

I love this time of year too, especially when it's been a tough season as you get to clean things up and start dreaming about what you will do differently next year.

Your ornamentals are looking fabulous, I used to grow so many from seed but just don't seem to have the time these days so I end up buying them, not remotely as satisfying.

Your tomatoes remind me of my dahlias - the plants are still producing flowers but the foliage gets uglier with every passing day. I was hoping to limp through another month with them but I may not be able to stand looking at that foliage that long.
