A wet grey chilly morning has turned into a glorious sunny day. And oh how welcome the sunshine is.
Our main task was to get the dahlias under cover. Here they all are.
They've been covered with carpet and porous tarpaulin, held down on all sides by bricks.
Paula cut back more Michaelmus daisy, Steve found veggies and sawed old wood and I am trying to eradicate red creeping sorrel which is becoming a nuisance. I also weeded some of this path. Sometimes it feels like a losing battle.
The chipped bark has rotted down to a very fertile soil. I am almost tempted to scrape it up and throw it on the flower beds.
We think the cobshed roof growth is improving now the shading trees are cut. Just a few gaps to fill in spring.
Paula saw a newt in the pond. Unheard of in November. Amazing. Pond weed and even blanket weed are still thriving.
Some great fungi around.
Inkcaps I believe, used to make ink in the past.
We came home for lunch to find our load of logs delivered so we know the first job for the afternoon.
You’ve been busy, all looking very tidy. I love all the scarecrows waiting in line at the end of the polytunnel.
ReplyDeleteThat lovely mushroom is a magpie inkcap, I learned that one this year ☺️
Oh thank you for that. Do feel as if we are more on top this year .... most likely because we were doing the fence last year.
