                        • I’ve finally emptied the dog poop compost bin (lovely crumbly stuff, no smell) onto the flower bed
                          Really have to finish cutting back the cherry, holly and bamboo etc
                          Then there’s a ton more weeds to pull after this week’s rain

                            ^^^I have only ever grown garlic once, but I followed this and it seemed to work!

                            Might grow some more the year after next, but still have plenty in the freezer for now

                            As for me, it’s raining cats and dogs here, so I shall be painting timber and washing pots in the garage, and sowing some winter lettuce in the greenhouse
