Did some more tidying up like getting all the dead leaves from the bottom of the sprouts and PSB. Picked some sprouts for the freezer. I like them when they are about as big as a marble so have to be diligent with the picking to catch them before they get bigger. Decided that we will have to plant more next year. Tony spent his time dock hunting. He's got a thing about docks. Had a nice bottle of wine from the Steve and Carol who took on their plot earlier this year. They said it was for the help we gave them. Was really chuffed. We are going again today while the weather stays fine to do a bit more

Weeded and mulched the fruit beds, put a few barrows of manure on next year's potato plot, dug out brambles, pruned gooseberries and an apple tree and had a bonfire, put up some bird boxes, shored up the dilapidated greenhouse and tidied up the shed. It's great that the sun is setting perceptibly later - about 4.30 pm this evening.

nipped up the lottie and picked up the bags of rubbish to go to the tip, filled the bean trench with guinea pig poo, then sat down and did loads of digging in my dreams ;D

Completed the new wood chip path along the fence, weeded, planted the rest of my garlic and my shallots. Not another soul in sight!

Finally had a bonfire, but everything was rather damp (Metcheck telling porkies again, it was supposed to be bright sunshine!). Cut down asparagus and tried to get some of the couch out from between them before surrounding with cardboard in hope of getting a few less weeds next year. Think I may need a plan B of starting a new asaparagus bed :(
Got a bit p****d off by the neighbours who were complaining that they hadn't managed to get on top of things, when all they had left to do was cut back a hedge while the rest of their plot is immaculate!

Dug up another load of strawberry plants. I seem to be doing this every other week as the things wont stop spreading! The soil was good for it though and I even warmed up a fraction after a while!
Then I cut down the raspberry canes. That's one of those jobs I always think l'll do in a few minutes but after what seemed like ages and a lot of hard work, I'd only done half the row. Still can't explain how that one works.....
But at least I went home with some leeks and a cabbage. Taking something always makes any effort worthwhile.

Helped 12 yr old son clear his plot of brambles, I swear they are still growing! We had a good 3 hour slash and burn session, and then cleared a bit more of the path so we could actually see it... :-\

If it's not pouring with rain, I'm either in the garden or at the lottie! Probably still there in the rain as well TBH....🥴

Frosty all day - very bracing. Apart from spreading manure about the place, continued pruning gooseberries and attempting to get couch grass roots out from underneath them. Is there a simple, pain-free way of doing this?
