Planted up the Sweet Peas today.
All done for October.

I have my broad beans sown (although no soon of them yet - but plenty of time to sow more if needed)
As on a different thread my garlic isnt due until January!
So only plan left for October (and may roll into November now) is to sort out all the chillies and herbs still residing outside and decide what to do with them!Comment

Moved a load of perennials into the new flower bed, that was hard work. Cleared most of the beans away and tidied up raised beds. Planted a few more bulbs. Loads more still to go in
Need to move some shrubs tomorrow will need OH's help for that, and guess what plant Moore bulbs. It's great having a blank canvas to work on but it does mean having to plant zillions of everything to make an impact.Dogs have masters, cats have slaves, and horses are just wonderfulComment
