Tammy and Magz made the muffins I hoped for last week. I had some in my lunch box during the week. A few extra calories of deliciousness is just the thing to get you through the week. Sadly there are only a very small number of the tiniest berries left on my bush now. I think the birds had themselves a small snack during the week because I was sure there were more left last week. Of course I could just as easily be wrong. You know how the mind works over even a short time like a week. I do still have some parsnips and carrots to pull up but mostly the garden is starting to head into winter mode. Once the leaves have fallen I will still have one important job to do which is to prune my apple tree. The cooking apple one that is as it has taken over the whole area of my fruit trees. It doesn't help that the other trees have been suffering from their own problems. Next year I'll need to try harder to deal with them and hopefully encourage them to a more fruitful future. Well it would be good to get some cherries. Maybe next year. After all I was close to it this year. I really did think we might get some sadly only to fail at the last. I think it was the sudden spike in the temperature that did it this year. Ironic really as usually it is the cold that has cost me my crop of cherries. Well it has been a warm year.
