End of the vegetable line for this year.

I've put the last ones out in the garden to see what effect the weather will have on them.

And a Fleur de Lis which I've place outside on the shed door!

     

 I've also made some corn  patterns which are now on the garden gate,

but they probably wont last through the winter months.
