The Autumnal look

Photos of the garden taken on the 10th October 2009. The bananas have been wrapped with a straw and fleece coating to protect against the winter freezes. I started early this year as I used a more elaborate process. I started by creating a tepee of canes around the trunk. I pushed straw beteen the canes and the trunk. Finally wrapping with fleece which was secured with wire. I decided to do this earlier than necessary due to the process being more involved.
