Default Nights drawing in

It realy feels like Autumn now, the nights are drawing in, and despite
the forecast having been for 3 dayd without rain, it's been a wet one
here at this end of Swansea Bay, water lying out the field amongst the
dahlias, and the rabbits have already realised that I have taken down
the electric netting and are back digging.along the paths, and have
even had a go at some of the late growing chickweed, they can have all
of it if they want.
Have to gather the runner beans I left for seed as well as the peas,
as soon as they dry.
Then it's dahlia lifting for the next few weeks, it would be nice if
they could dry on the field after lifting.
What jobs have you got lined up for the next few weeks?

Noticed that the runner beans are leaning somewhat now, and with the
wind and the rain, they could well be on the ground by the morning!
Clear them up and dig over the area where all the beans were planted
this year. Then its clearing the sweet corn plants and moving the
contents of the compost heap onto various parts of the garden, then turn
this years compost heap into last years now empty container. And thats
all before the end of the month!
