Late Autumn in the Yard

It's getting quite cold for tomatoes at this time of year but there are still some on the vine and ripening (albeit very slowly):

Joe's Long Cayenne chillies ripening:

 A tasty looking purple cauliflower almost ready for harvest:


A newly planted avocado tree in the place where a camellia tree was previously growing. Apparently they like similar conditions. This variety (Wurtz) is one of the smaller growing varieties (around 3m high):

Leeks looking good:

This garlic was planted one month ago. About six different varieties. It should be ready for harvest around December. Protected by netting - to prevent birds from scratching around - which I can probably take off soon:

And some peas (variety Greenfeast). I've used jute string between wooden stakes for them to climb:
