Our neighbours' pretty kitten came to say goodbye. Lots of cats frequented our garden but this one was my favourite
One last glimpse before we left (and a quick dash outside to grab a few not-quite-ripe pears for my mother in law!)
Then it was time to leave.
Goodbye garden!
but when we finally got a move date I set about clearing them.
The broccoli took some uprooting.
It had grown a massive stalk and strong roots. 
and hundreds of seedpods.
From the other beds we found a few hidden onions 
and one lonely carrot that had survived the slugs earlier in the year. 
Then S mowed the lawn and made it all look neat and tidy
After:
Much better!
I found an interesting moth
These seed pods are growing on what I think are bolted radishes. 
When they dry I will collect the seeds for next year.
It had finally dried out...
...so I collected some of the seeds 
There were hundreds of them - no need to buy any next year 
Self saved seed is meant to have a good germination rate - fingers crossed for next season!
Most things have bolted and the rest have been frazzled and withered.
The broccoli has gone nuts
The rocket is taking over and the chard is way past eating point. 
But we have lots of flowers 
so the bees are happy.
These flowers pop up every summer in the shade of our big tree - I think they are from bulbs 
But I have no idea what they are!
Magnificent creature! Click for a close up of his amazing wings
