Inspected the broad beans and filled a couple of gaps, planted garlic and did some digging. Picked carrots, brussels, swede, turnip, cabbage and kale

Nothing yet, having lunch. Then pick over the toms (probably for the last time) check the mouse trap, bag up the last of the muck...

Scratched my head trying to figure what to screen the automatic air vent with to keep little and big varmints from making the walk-in cold frame their winter home.

mulched the asparagus bed with well rotted FYM, and covered it up for the winter.

Potted up my hanging basket for the front of the house.

Dug, chatted, chatted, dug. Bunged in a few bulbs.

I put the bean canes away for the winter my least favourites job.

Have about another 10lbs of toms in... :)

Planted my new autumn planting asparagus in the new all singing all dancing asparagus bed. Scraped the old putty out of my new shed windows. Admired it all. :) :) :) :)

Put the dahlias and the chrysanths to bed,

My imagination is running riot here Anne ;D ;D ;D ;D

;D ;D ;D Well call it poetic licence!?? :P Two years ago it was weed infested solid clay - now there is a foot's depth of lovely rich weedfree loam teeming with organic matter. All down to the magic of manure and mushroom compost. There you go! Magic mushrooms! In fact who needs asparagus. The soil is good enough to eat. ;D ;D ;D ;D

Stripped one pollytunnel and dissmantled another

Tidied up top end of my plot around shed, had a dig on new plot and put lavender cuttings in with fingers crossed for a lovely hedge ;D

Stained lattice fencing.
Sawed some more siding for the cold frame (now a 2-year project).

Been spending far too much time at the allotment. Getting the front garden under control again. Clearing the weeds and digging it over. Done half.

Wandered to the compost heap (bokashi bin in hand), slipped on something slimey, stubbed toe, landed on my b'hind, swore loudly & have accomplished sod all since. Upside? I'll be delegating garden jobs tomorrow... I think 'gather leaves' will be top of the list ;)
