Too late, they've all dried up to a frazzle. Plus I didn't take any photos

In a word, gnarly!

I've not really taken many pictures of my veg this year, because frankly, I've not had many to take pictures of! Next year though, you'll see... next year!

It can be a photo of your garden or a pot or a flower. Anything really that you think is worth sharing, You know how much we like photos.

Well then, here's some pics!

Chanterelles from this summer. I think this was my second time going out looking for them, with no previous experience at all. I had an even better pick the time after that, and since then I've not seen a single one! 
   

Hazelnuts from the other week's first picking! We have lots fall off the tree every day, so now we just go and pick them and hope that the wild boar don't find them first!
   

And new pics of the veranda with the flowers in full force

Your veranda is gorgeous.  P being ever practical said he wouldn't want to sand and paint all those curlicues.

My mixed showbench at the moment. Some squash with a cucumber and a pepper, garlic bulbs for planting soon with 2 lots of onions; in a tray for planting out if not enough in the root trainers are good enough though a lot are damping off also some ripe bulbs, about 20, for planting in the spring and saving seed from next year. At the back are some chrysanth cuttings; I stood on and broke the stem of one I bought this year so chopped it up and 4 have taken. I'll have to wait till next year now to see any flowers. There are some pea seeds for next year and a small variety of broad bean, martock that I never got round to trying this year. 

   

A feast of beans:

Some of the drying beans I've picked so far. The ones in the white plastic tray all came from one plant that seemed to be of medium size, not really a climber but bigger than dwarf. It also was very easy to shell this year so will try growing a row with them next year to see how they do as could be interesting. More or less all the pods had 5 seeds in with a yield of about 120 seeds.
