This
was my veggie patch - with a now invisible path running down the
center. I have begun to tidy it a little in preparation for cropping
and a final seasonal plant. I have beans and potatoes growing under
the bindweed and other weeds. Some of the weeds are good for compost
and will end up in the tub, but the rest will be hacked out and
thrown to dry and die in a corner. I will harvest the crops, dig the
area over and hopefully plant some radish or over-winter crops within
the upcoming week. I did plot to do this today, but it began to rain.
Here you can see how far I got. I have begun to clear the area around
my strawberries and mint. Next step is to go further along...
...which
I did a few days later. Only 2 days ago (from time of writing), I dug over the second area
of veg plot as well, meaning that two thirds of my veg plots are now
weeded, dug over, cropped, and replanted! I currently have calendula,
Japanese radish, potatoes, and leek planted.
As
you can see in the above picture, the miniature cyclamen have popped
out along with a late showing of baby violets.
As
shown in this picture, the bramley tree still produces much fruit. I
managed to crop almost 2 dozen apples with the help of the long
handled pruner prior to their becoming windfalls. Half of these were
given to a friend and the rest stewed and frozen. Apples are not my
fruit of favor, and I tend to only eat a little at a time.
