Each week I create a photo collage which sums up our week. It mainly focuses on gardening but sometimes other events are thrown into the mix.
The photos form the main part of a dairy page on our website which also has brief notes and blog links to both of our blogs. If you are interested in visiting the October page is here.
Here is October's photo collection that are representative of the 232 photos that I kept for October with lots more discarded.
If you enjoy watching videos we also have a vlog which mainly hosts Martyn's videos but I have added one or two of mine too.
Don't forget Martyn has a blog A Gardener's Weather Diary which records our gardening antics from his point of view.

Gosh, for all the winds and murky grey days, the garden certainly put forth a grand show of colour!
ReplyDeleteI guess once we have a keen frost the colour will disappear, Deborah
DeleteI really love this idea - if only I had the time! Well, at least with digital photos, it's much easier to do these types of compilations after the fact which hopefully I will one day.
ReplyDeleteIf only digital photography had been invented earlier we would have had a lovely record going back further, Margaret.
Deleteflipping heck 232 pictures, how many did you discard? seriously they are all lovely, my ratio of pictures I retain, against those that I delete is probably similar to yours. We do have standards after all Sue!
ReplyDeleteLots and lots deleted, David especially when I am on burst mode! :-)
Deleteburst mode is to be recommended for not missing that one shot you really want.
DeleteWonderful ! You have done a great job this year ! Love all your photos . :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Daisy Debs
DeleteJust a few snaps then! What's in the seed tray/modules?
ReplyDeleteThe modules contain hardy annuals, Mal. Ideally I would have sown them direct but they needed to go in when we couldn’t get to the plot so I hope transplanting them works.
DeleteYour diary page is wonderful Sue, I can imagine all 232 phots of October only, wow. Scrolling these ones twice I loved your roses and tomatoes you harvested till now.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!
Glad that you enjoyed then Nadezda
DeleteIt's lovely seeing your diary and how productive, busy and fulfilling it all is. I shall visit the other sites when I have a few hours to enjoy them,xxx
ReplyDeleteHope that you enjoy them, Dina
DeleteBeautiful, thank you:)
ReplyDeleteThanks, sweffling
DeleteWow! Look at all that colour - and excellent harvests despite being beset by other problems. Looks like you're back on it though with bulbs going in. Good luck transplanting your annuals, will you fleece them?
ReplyDeleteLast year I covered them with enviromeah, Caro. The aim was to try and protect the seedlings from birds etc. I don’t think it would protect from frost. Last winter was mild so I’m not sure how they will fare if we have a bad winter.
DeleteThat is a beautiful post!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Belinda
DeleteYou do a much better job than I of getting photos of things! And your flowers are always so impressive, even more so this time of year.
ReplyDeleteMy camera is a permanent fixture and never far away, Dave. We both take our cameras on every allotment visit or visit anywhere else.
DeleteSuch a beautiful captures! Pretty flowers and vegetables as well as fruits!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Malar
DeleteGreat idea, Sue - my photos are just pilling up. I did a few small collages for early months this year for a catch-up post but they made their way printed and in to my 'real' diary :-) What a brilliant selection you have here!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Shirley
