What I intend to do today/tomorrow!

[Chestnut]

Today, tidy the house and cook a roast dinner - family get together tonight.
I shall of course pop out to the allotment for veg, but mustn’t let myself get carried away....

Tomorrow, some weeding and general tidying, or painting timber in the garage if it’s too wet outside.

Autumnal clearing to continue, picked all the Howgate Wonder and James Grieve apples, chopped the top off the biggest Buddleia and shredded the prunings, some in the compost and some mulching the new Raspsberry bed. Some tommie plants finished in the greenhouse, with regular overnight temps now down to 4 degrees inside, not going to get anything from the late growth and flowers, so they will be going next.
