The garden is now beginning to look a little end of season. The weather is certainly fraying the edges. However, this does not deter the keen gardener or the two cats from venturing forth. Mili and Hecate have new challenges to tackle, there is a new cat on the block and the deer are being much braver venturing into the garden for the berries. There is little doubt that they feel more up for these potential confrontations when one or other of their humans is about for (moral?) support.

I have been busy putting in bulbs and readying pots for spring. The tender plants and some of the half hardys will now need to be brought inside, or housed in the cold frame. The conservatory will be fumigated this weekend, cleaned up thoroughly and readied for plants to be brought inside. A little thought and preparation now will pay big dividends for next spring.
Top tip: Do not delay too long before protecting your prize specimens. Remember they will be expensive to replace. For the cat kingdom and the gardener this is the season for vigilance and protection
