October's seven, a set on Flickr.
1. Managed to get 3 barrow's of organic matter from compost. The key is to turn it over and let fresh air through.
2. Placed 5 bags of leaves from Eileen's garden all around rasps, currant bushes, all fruit trees and bare soil and the result is that the plot looks great, like a forest floor.
3. Comfrey and nettle juice watered all over plot to build up rich cake with the leaves and compost.
4. Ash found at the bottom of the fire bin has gone to the goosegogs and the rose.
5. Big blue sky, can't harvest it but can take it in at this time of year. Spent today in T shirts and feeling the heat from the sun, birds right dead above us, high up whizzing around.
6. Rich plot being prepared at the front for next years borlotti beans, peas and chard, spinach, leeks, thinking how to do Brussel sprouts. Trying to plan out a bit more this year so that we get veg into winter.
7. Mature frog disturbed from hibernating position, not a good spec though under a black bin liner on edge of neighbour's plot. Hope the amphibian finds a better place to live. Will look into providing homes for them, again how to do it? More research, trial and error.
