Autumn Colour at Sheffield Park

This afternoon we scurried up to the glorious Sheffield Park to check out the autumn colour.  If you haven't been there it's a fantastic informal garden of shrubs and trees famed for it's Kaleidoscopic Autumn colours. These are provided predominately by an incredible array of Acers. At this time of year, it really is a photographers dream. 

I have uploaded the photos to Flickr

AUTUMN IN SUSSEX

I LOVE AUTUMN and I love it when you suddenly notice that Autumn is everywhere. It creeps up on you and then suddenly, bang, those boring green leaves have been transformed into the most glorious colours.

Have you?

lifted your onions and put them somewhere warm to dry? Lazy gardeners like onions because you just leave them in the ground until the leaves have died down of their own accord.  When harvested gently lift them out with a fork so as not to bruise them.
