There was heavy rain a week ago that lasted through Monday.

But the plants in St Ethelwolds garden have strong stems and those in the yellow / orange border have survived and are standing upright.

Leaves are beginning to fall.

Coming into its own are the late-season flowers, like asters or Michaelmas daisies.

The apples have all been picked and more have been brought from elsewhere as the Abingdon Carbon Cutters pressed apple juice in the St Ethelwolds Garden during the last three days of September.
