I’ve now cleared and weeded all three vegetable areas, except for the sweetcorn plants, and made a start this morning roughly forking over the ground. I’m doing where I grew the potatoes, and not surpringly found a dinner’s worth. My only complete vegetable failure this year was carrots. I sowed several lots of seeds which didn’t germinate or got eaten by slugs. Otherwise I did better than expected which was slightly surprising given that it was considered to be a somewhat challenging and difficult season by most growers.
The three blue asters are all flowering, and I’ve seen plenty of bees on them along with a couple of white butterflies.
Next week looks like being mostly dry, sunny and heading back into the low 20’s C/low 70’s F so I’ll be mostly working through the flower patches. I’ll be collecting seeds, dead-heading flowers, weeding and removing finished plants. There are still plenty of flowers, including the sunflowers.
Have a good week, and take care!

Those Sunflowers have been excellent growers in this very odd growing year. It is good to have a happy flower around you. Your end of term jobs are well planned out. I hope the weather supports you.
Glad you found another meal or two of potatoes. That’s always a pleasure. At least, we find it so.
Enjoy finalising this year’s plotting and beginning the next, 2025, Mr F.

I’m sure that I’ll find a few more potatoes as I continue forking over the area. Yes it is, and good for you. Thanks, I will indeed. xx

Sorry to hear about your carrot difficulties. But the “left over” potatoes were a good find.
Love seed-collecting — it’s on par with getting seeds by mail 🙂

Nikki thanks. They sure were, and there’ll probably be a few more as I fork the area over.
Me too, it is indeed. xx

Those asters and sunflowers make a pretty end to the growing season! Will you sow any green manures for winter cover? Enjoy your extra potatoes. They always feel like ‘free’ food to me 😉

Allison they certainly do, I was watching a white butterfly on one of the asters this morning. No I don’t bother. Thanks, I found another couple of meals worth today. xx
