November 24 in my garden

 The water garden has been skimmed.  All the fallen leaves need to be cleaned off the plants and paths.  It looks kinda nice with its winter blanket on it, now.
 The cyclamen along the old sidewalk have been spreading everywhere in the garden. They are invasive, but very decorative.  They have a long blooming period and are ever green.  They are not too hard to keep under control.  Too bad about the branches in the photo.
 Pat can peel the apples in no time with his apple peeler purchased at Lee Valley.  We made up several cups of applesauce and froze them.  There are still apples left to process. 
 Water hawthorn is in bloom.  We have had some light frosts but the plant is still blooming, now.
 Schizostylis or Kaffir lily makes a good photo against the green of the mossy old sidewalk.
Feverfew blooming by the pond edge.  I shall encourage this plant to continue growing and spread around the pond edges. It is a tough but good looking, aromatic plant.  The leaves are rather fern like and soften the rock edges.
