Tidy up the garden as it has had no attention for the last 4 weeks.
Cut down some of the dead foliage on the dahlias, although the ones in the front garden are still flowering.
Sow Sweet peas in the greenhouse even though it's a little late.
Bring in fuschias and geraniums under cover.
Weed and weed as usual.
Lots of other little bits and bobs to attend to if the weather is favourable.

Well I got half of the tunnel done, proved harder work than I thought. Dug out to a depth of about 18 inches.

I need to clear the other side of the tunnel next week so I can do the other half as it still contains a load of chilli plants that are struggling to ripen their fruit.

Will resume next weekend.

Mrs G has started clearing the asparagus ferns, and I used the old soil from the polytunnel to build up the asparagus ridges again.

Thinking about trying to get some white asparagus next year. I've got an old water tank I put over one of the rhubarb plants each year to force it, might try the same with the asparagus.
