I posted on Nov 5th that I went out to pick the last of the runner beans and come back with wild strawberries. By then we'd had a few slightly frosty nights, the runners that were sheltered had gone on until then but finally packed up. After that we've had some frosts hard enough to freeze the hens water in the trough part - a couple of times I had to prise out a circle of ice when I'd not taken the drinker in at night. Milder now.
I popped round to the allotment yesterday to drop off stuff for the compost heap and to my amazement, the pot marigold and borage was growing and flowering. Even the fennel had revived and some other herbs were coming up too
