Ready for winter?

Well it's nearly Samhain here about a month to go which means winter is just around the corner 

Yesterday I got some pics of my outside garden I had planned on the greenhouses too but that didn't quite work out so well so hopefully I'll get those pics today and I know I have plenty of seeds to harvest as well when it's time (mostly from Basil's) I so have a couple saved pepper seeds as well I haven't tagged or saved any tomato seeds (worse year then I thought it'd be!) 


The mints --gotta get more cuttings and save the flowerheads once they die think ill just get all the cuttings I can at that point try to save *everyone* 


Herb as you can see I have pulled the bay some rosemary the lemon verabena has died as has I think the lettuce leaf basil but hopefully the rest of the Basil's produce seeds 


Salsa garden window box and all that fun stuff --the lemon grass was pulled from the window box (what a PAIN that was!) I also got a bunch of pineapple sage and some reg sage cuttings as well 


Another of last shot showing more of the goji --it had really good sweet round berries the outher had more oval shaped berries that tasted more like a sweet pepper in a way sadly I wasn't able to get seeds from eighter plant yet but I may have seedlings and I know I'll have cuttings (berries got moldy so added water letting seeds grow if they do) 


Herb planter tomatoes and peppers (and yes I'm trying to hide my shadow) 


Bad shot! Tomatoes and citronella 


The goji that tasted more like a pepper 


Another bad shot of the citronella and the fun stuff 


Tomatoes and peppers (you think I'm kidding when I say I have too much shade? Therese shots are from around noon!) 


The raspberry --it's an heirloom and while I don't know the name off the top of my head unlike the goji it's staying put right there this winter it survived last winter in a smaller pot it should be fine in that this year --also mom took the law mower to a part of it! 


View from the side by the raspberry --that little planter on the cement in front of the tyre is an area I know as 90% shade that's the south side of the garden


Possible raspberry/wine berry looks similar people claim it's similar so I'm gonna let it grow and see what it becomes --there were blueberries in there I'll get some new pots for them this year with a grape pot too (err 2013-2014 winter so growing in 2014) will just have to see what happens think I'll try a less water/drainage balance but I know we can flood just look at the herb pot! 


And here's an update on the peace rose not flowering but is doing well and still minimal thorns which is really confusing me lol 

Well enjoy guys I'll have another one up by the end of the day with the greenhouses I think
