Sunday is the autumn equinox, when night and day will be almost exactly the same length. Summer is over; autumn and longer nights lie ahead.
I just returned from a holiday and fell in love with my overgrown garden all over again; flowers elegantly swaying with the final energy of a summer's growth.
By September, though, most of us gardeners have merrily given up. Things have either thrived or failed. The surviving surprises will stand for us to delight in.
It is at this time of year that I most enjoy my garden...relishing the yolky light and crisping air on your skin.
