Dead, dead, dead

We had a heavy frost last week. We were hoping the Cape Gooseberries would survive enough to ripen. But no, they took it pretty hard.

The flower bed has also finished.

And finally the grapevine. It didn't really succumb to the frost, it just the end of the line for this year. So it's time to give it a drastic haircut.

Now whilst digging out the root stumps of the Cape Gooseberries, something else died. Alas my poor old trusty fork took one leverage too many.

Good job it's end of the season. But I'll need to get a new fork before next season starts. Wonder if they'll have new year sales on garden tools.
