Leaves on the trees turning yellow.
Non Hardy plants dying off.
A heavy frost a few days ago with another one forecast in two days time hopefully will also start killing the weeds.

Nevertheless, she came in every day before that with a great handful of them.
Personally, I'm not complaining; I was sick of green beans with every meal!

I have had loads of beans in the last few weeks. I pick them when they small.I grow a variety called 'Aintree' they are stringless and sweet and tender with a good crop. They actually like beans, many beans don't seem to taste of anything these days....
