秋天的颜色上个月的骚乱雾和轻雾消失截至11月窗帘世界灰色. 收获已经结束在大多数情况下，但仍然有很多工作要做, 如果我们愿意. The greenhouse and shed as well as pots and containers could do with a spruce up and the smoky shades of November might just inspire us to dip our brushes into a bolder paint for contrast. The painters El Greco and Rembrandt favoured grey as a backdrop for more colourful subjects and it is in this month that we may take a leaf from their books. Red or gilded pots are the natural accompaniment to Poinsettias and Holly but lend an air of festivity to any plant. 到新整理好的洒下淡淡的红色装饰可以照亮了整个分配. And if painting doesn’t appeal, 还有叶耙, seed catalogues to peruse and gingerbread men to bake.

The thinnest yellow light of November is more warming and exhilarating than any wine they tell of. The mite which November contributes becomes equal in value to the bounty of July.

谁第一个来下面这个世界
在沉闷的十一月的雾和雪,
如若奖黄玉琥珀色,
朋友和恋人真正徽.
但从园丁的点, 十一月可以将遇到的最糟糕的一个月: 自然是绕下来, 空气是冷, 天空是灰色的, 但标点符号通常最终成绩的一年还没有到来 – 雪; snow that covers all in the garden and marks a mind-set for the end of a year’s activity. There is little to do outside except to wait for longer days in the new year and the joys of coming holidays.
Peter Loewer
A September to remember. An October full of splendour.
