autumn gardening

today I finally got a chance to put up my autumn seeds - cukes, broad beans, sage and basil. 

 I was aided and abetted, of course, by my number one gardening assistant. (Okay, S - who actually digs and lifts things - might technically be the number one assistant. But there's nothing like the riceball for inspiration!)

 I am so excited to see the garden really starting to come around with the rain and cooler weather. I can't wait for spring to see the explosion of new life.
