Yum!

Dry them off and serve with cold milk - instant bran flakes.

I miss making leaf mould. No trees in my garden now after moving. I don't miss clearing them up though.

Same here dongle. I haven't got any trees either, and the neighbours are mostly Cyprus's.
I used to sweep Mum's up and keep them in bags, but I can't even do that any more.

You have made me think though. I might go out in the car this week to a little lane I know is always covered in leaves this time of year. I could go and sweep some of them up.

Re: todays crop

Just the job for the compost
I usually dig a deep trench in the autumn where the runner beans grow and stick the leaves in there along with some grass clippings .
When spring comes I dig it over and the leaves will have rotted down nicely .

That sounds like a good idea.
