What’s going on in your garden (2026)?

The very last of the figs. Frost got the tree last night and the leaves are now dying back for winter. This is the end of my fig harvest this season.

I also raided the veg plot. Fresh tomatoes that are ripe or nearly ripe, the last cucumbers, a few more courgettes, and some warrigal greens which went into tonight's evening meal.

There were also some raspberries

I've also got a cherry tree on its way. Lacking a growing passionfruit vine to buy, I bought seeds instead, there there after 2 other plants I've totally forgotten about... checks email. A jostaberry tree and a blood plum satsuma (which is a plum tree).

• Passionfruit 'Purple'
• Jostaberry
• Cherry 'Stella'
• Blood Plum 'Satsuma'

They'll temporarily go into large pots for a few years whilst they grow, along with the pomegranate, red gooseberry, and the lime tree which also need potting on. Then the blueberry needs moving once it's dormant, and the barberry the same. Right now it produces loads of berries but doesn't get enough sun to get them ripe, so it also needs a new home this winter.

I've been watching the weeds grow in the garlic patch for too long...

Much better!

They're starting to flower so I'll be collecting scapes any day now.

I've spent the past two days cleaning up the bromeliads. It's painstaking work, but I'm nearly there. They're all desperately short of water, but I think we're in for a rainstorm in about the next 10 minutes...
