I'm always quite pleased when the frost hits(as long as it's not early!) as it means I can clear all the stuff I should have cleared before but couldn't bring myself to do, like the nasturtiums and courgette plants. Now I just need a bit of dry weather before winter sets in so I can dig over the bits I've cleared!
I think we are all a bit like that Caroline. Clinging on to the last reminder of summer :wave:
Yes, I like like the post summer clear up as well, and have this week off so I planned to do exactly that. However, the ground is soaking wet, and I seem to have some sort if trapped nerve/ pulled muscles in my right hip which is blooming painful! Why does my body wait for holiday time off to do this!

So true. Plants that aren't properly brown and dead might miraculously do something? They don't but there is always hope. Just kidding (myself) :wave:
I am doing it bit by bit. Chopped away a lot of the rosemary that was getting to be a pest, removed a lot of woody branches here and there, pulled out the rhubarb that was not pulling its weight (sob!) and that was a b****rd of a job! Turn over a bit of a patch each time I visit, build a new pile of compost etc etc. I am sure it will all be ship shape by the time I get the echalotes going in February!!
