  1. A whole lot of this going on here. Does your green man have to come in out of the frost to stay intact?

  2. Lisa, I've never brought him in and he has been fine. I've had him for a long time.

  4. Hi Phillip, the garden is going to rest and I always feel a little sad. But there's always next year! Thanks for your lovely photographs.

  5. Both garden and gardener need to rest and rejuvenate so I'm not to sad to see winter rolls in. I love the bird bath: it looks like the water in it has frozen!
