Last Day of September

Today is the last day of September and the temperature is soaring high at 28C...... but feels hotter after having such cold weather.  28C is about as hot as we could ever expect in the height of summer here in North Yorkshire.  We have cloudless blue skies..... glorious... but too hot for me.  But it is all set to change again on Sunday (if we are to believe the weather forecasters).

My poor battered ten foot sunflower is still standing after all the storms, now set against an amazing blue sky ......

and as you can see the seeds are developing beautifully.

The fennel looks stunning in the late afternoon sun....

... and there are still some gailadia and verbena flowering....

a spider spins her web..........

and I collect the last (somewhat weedy) courgette.........

...... but the gargoyle still looks grumpy. 

Perhaps the weather is far too hot for him too.
