What I did today 2025

[Bren In Pots]

Cut back my blackberries then tied in the new canes, lots of weeding, sorting out compost and containers.

Yesterday I had my first visit to the plot this year (OH's been a couple of times - honest).

We still managed to get a few bits done. All the disasters were pulled up (sprouts & kale that did nothing at all, PSB that's been attacked by pigeons & also a few had rotted off). We harvested the last few swede & cut back the autumn raspberries. A plot neighbour has offered to burn our scrap wood this week (largely inherited when we took over) so that got piled up ready.

We had planned to empty a cooked dalek bin but it was too heavy for OH to tip alone & I wasn't strong enough to help so that will have to wait until we have a strong plot neighbour available to help. The beds are still a bit soggy so OH couldn't satisfy his urge to start forking the beds over but we're forecast a dry week so I'm hoping it will be better by next weekend.

Potted up some more sprouted pepper seeds.
Dug up the yacon plants, harvested the tubers, then split the crowns ready to replant (two massive plants made about 10 new plants).
Weeded and then fed the asparagus and rhubarb, and fed the soft fruit and fruit trees.
Started digging over where the onions are to go.

Collected a full cubic metre dumpy bag of moss out of a small 3x5m lawn

Mowed the lawns for the first time this year. Put my spangles chilli and clementine out in the garden, gave them a wash with warm rainwater, I think they look much happier now.

OH cut all our lawns/field too yesterday. What a difference to the feel of the place!
