Putting the Garden to Bed

Finally had a couple of sunny days, and a chance to get out into the garden to complete the last few tasks before winter finally arrives.  The (still rather damp) grass got its final cut . . .


. . . and the ornamental pear tree its annual haircut!



Also got the main veg plot tidied up (just leaving the sprouts in situ, as they may yet come to something). Once it was weeded and dug over, spread it with a layer of (relatively) fresh seaweed that we harvested the other week - which will hopefully feed the soil for some bumper crops next year!



That just leaves us then with the leek crop in the small veg plot - they went in a bit late, but seem to be coming along nicely enough   . . .
