I am glad I got my new plants into the ground a few weeks ago.  We have had some more decent weather, but the nights have been quite cold and tonight the temperature is set to fall below 0°C.  The plants are mostly growing well and a little frost at this stage shouldn't bother them.

The boys have had a project over the summer where they have planted and looked after some lettuce and carrots.They have grown very well and I've harvested plenty of lettuce.  I think we planted the carrots a little too closely together so we've had some tiny ones, but as we've picked and therefore thinned they have grown larger. These were some of the first we picked - yummy! 

As the autumn has developed we've had a lot of visitors to our garden, especially spiders who have been spinning webs everywhere.

We also spotted this lovely butterfly a few days ago.
