November in the garden

After a rainy weekend we went to the garden and found the broad beans sprouting through the damp earth, although there’s no sign of the mangetout peas yet. While I picked some peppers, which are still growing but not ripening, Lo Jardinièr dug up some more of the tomato plants, leaving just the Roma plants, which are still producing fruit.

Some autumnal images:

Arbutus berries and flowers - both appear on the tree at the same time.	Two Lucque olives fallen from the tree during heavy rain. They’re a good size this year.
Green, ripening and ripe olives on the same branch.	Some more ripening olives.
Butternut squash.	Two pumpkins, one ripe, one still green.
The artichoke plants are recovering from the dry summer.	Red cabbages are doing well, although the leeks we planted at the same time aren’t.
Rosemary still flowering.	A rose bud about to open.
A snail on an olive leaf next to a dead sunflower head.	Rose hips on a wild rose bush.
Wild honeysuckle.	Cardinale vine leaf.
