I am torn between leaving these lovely <strong><em>crabapples</em></strong> on the plant to cheer up the garden, or to pick them and make some jelly. That’s a tough decision.<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CAbxtOKD8Tc/StC_Wn4PURI/AAAAAAAAC24/I4VFQLDkKAw/s1600-h/DSC06304.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391019149345378578" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CAbxtOKD8Tc/StC_Wn4PURI/AAAAAAAAC24/I4VFQLDkKAw/s400/DSC06304.JPG" /></a> This <strong><em>Swiss Chard</em></strong> will continue to provide colour right the way through Winter and into Spring next year. I have planted a <strong><em>Rainbow Lights</em></strong> selection so I also have yellow, orange and white chard. <div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CAbxtOKD8Tc/StC_Acog_yI/AAAAAAAAC2w/RsyR0i9ioX0/s1600-h/DSC06311.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391018768369516322" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CAbxtOKD8Tc/StC_Acog_yI/AAAAAAAAC2w/RsyR0i9ioX0/s320/DSC06311.JPG" /></a> This is one of the flowers on my <strong><em><a title="Jerusalem Artichokes" href="http://gardenersvoice.com/category/jerusalem-artichokes/">Jerusalem Artichokes</a></em></strong>. Most of them are 12 feet up in the air on top of the tall stems, but here is one nearer the ground. I look forward to digging them up later, after a frost has sweetened them a bit more. <div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CAbxtOKD8Tc/StC-rZuehKI/AAAAAAAAC2o/PXVDlE4F01o/s1600-h/DSC06316.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391018406811960482" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CAbxtOKD8Tc/StC-rZuehKI/AAAAAAAAC2o/PXVDlE4F01o/s320/DSC06316.JPG" /></a> I am looking forward to enjoying this <strong><em>Lemon/Lime cross</em></strong> on Christmas Day with my gin and tonic! <div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CAbxtOKD8Tc/StC-Sw08xBI/AAAAAAAAC2g/sZt4xBb6UJE/s1600-h/DSC06322.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391017983516394514" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CAbxtOKD8Tc/StC-Sw08xBI/AAAAAAAAC2g/sZt4xBb6UJE/s320/DSC06322.JPG" /></a> A small show of my <a title="greenhouse" href="http://gardenersvoice.com/category/greenhouse/">greenhouse</a> <strong>chilli Numex Twilight</strong>.

These will be left on the vine as long as possible to produce seeds for next year. <div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CAbxtOKD8Tc/StC9YBv7A2I/AAAAAAAAC2I/-dm9pd0Ay_w/s1600-h/DSC06307.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391016974446429026" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CAbxtOKD8Tc/StC9YBv7A2I/AAAAAAAAC2I/-dm9pd0Ay_w/s320/DSC06307.JPG" /></a> The last colour in this lovely Autumn display is…….. <div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CAbxtOKD8Tc/StC9CWta57I/AAAAAAAAC2A/5POomw_NS6U/s1600-h/DSC06326.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391016602115958706" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CAbxtOKD8Tc/StC9CWta57I/AAAAAAAAC2A/5POomw_NS6U/s320/DSC06326.JPG" /></a> White with black spots!</div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28615441-1894548484464377759?l=veggies-only.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <div style="display: none">VN:F [1.6.3_896]</div><div class="ratingblock"><div class="ratingblock "><div class="ratingheader ">Rate this Article</div><div class="ratingstars "><div id="article_rater_1273" class="ratepost gdsr-soft gdsr-size-24"><div class="starsbar gdsr-size-24"><div class="gdouter gdheight"><div id="gdr_vote_a1273" style="width: 0px;" class="gdinner gdheight"></div><div id="gdr_stars_a1273" class="gdsr_rating_as"><a id="gdsrX1273X5X0XaXarticle_rater_1273Xarticle_loader_1273X10X24" title="5 / 5" class="s5" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX1273X4X0XaXarticle_rater_1273Xarticle_loader_1273X10X24" title="4 / 5" class="s4" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX1273X3X0XaXarticle_rater_1273Xarticle_loader_1273X10X24" title="3 / 5" class="s3" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX1273X2X0XaXarticle_rater_1273Xarticle_loader_1273X10X24" title="2 / 5" class="s2" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX1273X1X0XaXarticle_rater_1273Xarticle_loader_1273X10X24" title="1 / 5" class="s1" rel="nofollow"></a></div></div></div></div><div id="article_loader_1273" style="display: none; width: 120px; " class="ratingloader article"><div class="loader flower " style="height: 24px"><div class="loaderinner" style="padding-top: 2px">please wait...</div></div></div></div><div class="ratingtext "><div id="gdr_text_a1273">Rating: 0.0/<strong>5</strong> (0 votes cast)</div></div></div></div>
