Today, finally, I finished my patio for the winter. Some plastig bags to throw away but there's nor rush there. Sadly I saw that all three of my aubergine plants had some kind of pest on them, so out with them and good buy. I removed my aubergine first. Not sure if it matured enough but I refused to have the pest inside longer than necessary. It was sad to see them go...especially since they had flowers... I'll try again next year and I'll begin earlier then. I did sow some lavender that will develop during the cold and then hopefully grow in spring. Fingers crossed.
