Today I managed to put a full day in around the garden & plot .Weeded a few more beds ,took out loads of bindweed , dug in new compost (hens loved eating all the slug eggs + criters But Not so happy about the annihilation worms )also did the end of year clean and disinfect of the greenhouse/ all pots, equipment .At this moment the G/H is just full of smoke from a sulphur bomb I set off 3 hours ago ( Expecting a second visit from the fire brigade this month ).planing of planting some lettuce in the g/h - It should be about 25 hours once the smokes gone and all pots are stored away till December.

Managed to get a nice harvest of leeks ,chilli's, toms , cucumbers ,runner beans ,carrot's .


Also noticed this camellia I got at the start of the year has started to bud again !Which is crazy as its a spring flowering plant not sure if to bring it inside before the frost kicks in


Should of weeded and Earthed up my leeks today but Went to the beach to let the dog have a run instead .

01october









Been months since I last posted and i've missed loads of pics of the final crops and the new arrival of my 2 ex battery hens. I'll try find them as i'm sure I took some the day I got them . Still; here are the hens now ( the blury one is on a phone cam, it's about 1 month old now ). The ex batts have come on leaps and bounds from being 85% bald to almost fully refeathered . As for the plot - i've closed off most of it for the winter and dug in compost + manure. Celery, leeks, celeriac, beetroot, herbs and some courgettes, runners & tomato plants still cropping.
