  • WHt a beautiful sunny autumn day! Lots and fbdigging being done today and wood chipping more paths as I go along. 

    So much to do and as the clocks go back this weekend, a little less time in the day.....no fear, it’s what I live for weekends for ?

    Went to plot today more strimming done after yesterday as the battery ran out, also more on shed went got more pallet wood yesterday late for shed walls

    Today with shed build more sanding of wood measuring and sawing, and hammering/ nailing the wood up, think shed inside will be 5 foot by 7" both ways 6 foot shed outside with nice pallet thick walls

    Harvested my pumpkins - 2 from the seeds Zoomer gave me little green ones, and 2 white ones, one big and one smaller

    I'm making a bug hotel in the stumpery. It's also a good use for sunflower stems and clumps of roots 

    Onions and garlic are looking good with small shoots, shallots haven't started growing yet. 

    I've some biennial seedlings In the GH, they are quite small and may not make it to Spring, we shall see.

    I was asked if I'd like to be on the committee...juries still out..

    GWRS. I've sown some peas in pots but they haven't come up yet. 

    I've some onions in modules as a back up but won't plant them out till Spring to replace any which don't get through winter.
