I have been turning out the compost bins.  That which is ready to go is being placed onto the garden as I work my way around each of the beds in turn.  As quickly as I have been taking the leaf bind to pieces and using the now ready material the under gardener has been filling it up again!  The colours in the garden are still quite spectacular and with the very good weather we have been having progress has been quite good.  I cannot escape the feeling however that any time now we are going to wake up and find it has turned VERY cold and then reality will really kick in.
