Well it may have been a dull day with rain around but it was certainly not a dull visit to the garden.....our first after our Cyprus holiday.
We met up with Anne and excitedly discussed new plans for the garden
(a blog entry on its own)
and we looked at the huge pile of topsoil left over from the newly dug pond in the lower field.
We can use it anywhere in the garden.....polytunnel, wild area, raised beds etc etc.
We spent quite a lot of time clearing things in the polytunnel such as aubergines, cucumbers and chillies.......
...... but I could not bring myself to pull up the French marigolds, still flowering their hearts out.
I trimmed the stems from the gladioli and left them all spread out to continue drying.
The jasmine is going wild in the corner
and needs a bit more training.
Steve dismantled the bean row which is in danger
of being blown over.
The little orchard is almost bare.
Dahlias looking a trifle battered.
Asparagus ready for the chop.
But a colourful harvest of late summer and early winter veg.
(I can hear the groans from my family now)
And even a windblown bunch of late alstromeria.
Needless to say there were dozens of jobs to get ourselves stuck into.
I can see a few whole working day visits coming up.
