So after a break to go oop’North to see Arthur (99 in December - still going but not as strongly as last visit, memory worse and slightly less able to get around) we are back on the garden. In the photo you can see that I have started strumming the flower meadow and Kate is weeding one of the corner beds.
There is still so much colour around and the butterflies haven’t given up hope of finding some food.
I seeded the areas where I removed the old beds and germination was very rapid.
In the last few days it has come on very well.
The flower meadow is now strummed and cuttings cleared away on our haywain.
We have been enjoying a few days of a real Indian Summer.
Which brought on a flush of ripe figs from the front of the house.
One ongoing job is clearing around the greenhouses. The cold frame and the compost bins, which where built from scavenged wood when we got here, have finally collapsed and will be replaced. Kate is clearing out the greenhouses and getting rid of years or pots.
I chopped the ivy back on some of the trees which has resulted in this rather fetching debris.
More Autumn colour.
My lathe sold very rapidly, to a fairly local man (Ammanford) who wants to learn how to turn. Luckily he liked it and paid cash so I now have more workshop space.
