9/3°C and drizzly today at 53°N. Felt like the North Pole coming from Nice. Loads of greenish trees still, like in slightly more southerly Norwich.

Why don't you let them out in winter?

RAlex knows whats lying on the ground. lol I had enough looking at them. Sweet Bell peppers still that green? WTF die already! LOL
I know the feeling. Sometimes I feel like going on a punitive expedition against plants that have the nerve to stay green into November. I think Ariete was tempted to do the same on public property earlier this autumn.

Yup, you pulled up your okra! Was it still producing?
Mine is still producing okra, but I'm getting tired of picking it. I got all that I'm going to use and I'm just giving it away now. It may not last much longer, as the first frost will kill it. It could get close to freezing this weekend, with mid 30's in the forecast, so there may be some frost.

how are you going to survive a November in Nice? I'm told from a Californian that winter is the time for greenery: "winter green". Some green left.
a few garden plants left
overlook. Turner Falls.
Greenfield. Doesn't look like a Spainish town What's with all the space between the buildings?
Didn't see much red brick in Spain. Helpfully, there's a flag to let you know what country you're in.

another viewpoint:
looking at overlook
church, just before sunrise. 47°F. Rather different style than Spanish ones.
morning
corn is dead
river valley appears (and feels like it) a local frost hollow. All leaves gone:
gross road surface that a road work vehicle was adding to the road. It was nice and hard until. Turned a perfectly good biking road to garbage. Good for covering holes or something for cars.

I was, but that was only because those plants do not belong here. But I would like our trees to retain their leaves a bit longer, and also burst earlier in the spring. Today only a few strong maples, birches, rowans and oaks have any leaves left, usually in wind-protected locations. All other are bare. Smaller vegetation like bushes still retain some of their leaves.
In this screenshot from Tampere you clearly see which trees are deciduous and which are conifers:

^^ I most likely would want the growing season to be longer too if I was living in Finland. After all, my dream climate is 6-7°C warmer than Turku in April and October. I would like bare landscapes to last longer than in Paris though.

Nice isn't the same. It would be completely different without evergreens, from native vegetation (stone pine, holm oak...) to imported (palms, magnolia...). Above 45°N, broadleaf evergreens are a mere nuisance imo and should therefore be checked off and destroyed with the utmost zeal.

I find abandoned factories, that once used to sustain entire communities and are now left to rot or dismantled, to be a sad sight. Doesn't look abandoned though, they must still be producing something there?
Neat pics and ligth btw! I'm surprised to see lavender there.

I use the stacks of pavers as an area to measure snow. Flat and in open area in the yard. Easy height to measure too.

Nope, Not producing. Just like the Peppers rotting before ripening now. End of September veggie growing season is pretty much done. We're lucky if we get things in October.
Ok then good idea, that never occurred to me. I just use the fence posts.I use our pavers to give the dogs a way to come in and out...,they hate to get their feet wet and the snow just balls up in their feet. So we shovel a short area on the pavers too!
