I’ve been to the plot every day so far this week as it’s been mostly dry and sunny, although a bit chilly early on.
I finished forking over the rest of the patch where I’ll be growing potatoes next year. That means I’ve now done all three vegetable patches and can leave them be now except to hoe off any weeds which appear. I’ve also dug out, and sieved, the first barrowload of compost.
I recently mentioned that my plot neighbour has a large clump of ox-eye daisies on her plot which have self-seeded. She kindly said I could help myself if I wanted any so yesterday I dug up three small clumps. I’ve planted two out on the flower patch and the other one in the large black plastic container which stands by the shed.
It may be mid-November but I’ve still got flowers and fruit on the blackberry bush, and there are flowers on the strawberries.
Have a good weekend, and take care!

Imagine having those blackberries still ripening. I’d be tempted to pick them and make a blackberry and apple pie! Good for you to have the vegetable parts of the plot cleared. Please post a photo of the entire area.

Boy, you have been busy — amazing what you’re able to accomplish with a string of cooperative weather. How big is your blackberry patch? I’m just starting mine in a container.

Nikki I’ve being making the most of the good weather. It’s a proper bramble bush, rather than a cultivated variety, and covers several square feet. xx
