Last day of summer....

(Probably. We've got a wet few days coming up, and then possibly the first Atlantic storm of the season after that. Still, it has been a lovely couple of weeks! (Comparatively) masses of people in the woods this afternoon, taking advantage of it.)
With the leylandii were taken out, and even though the new fence line is slightly further out than the old one was, the drive is suddenly much wider, which will be handy. Today, in between adding compost to the soil and planting a mixed bag of blue and white bulbs where they used to be, we made it wider still by pulling up the layer of grass that's grown along the edge of it. Should make it much handier when we have people to stay, although I still doubt I'll be up for reversing out of the garage with another car on the drive!
I got some garden-ready pansy plug plants the other day, and I've put them into the big empty patch in front of the house that the tomatoes left behind. I'm trying to decide when I should plant out the ornamental cabbages that I started in pots from seed: the packet, and internet, are somewhat non-specific about what constitutes being ready for it. Maybe next week. We're still picking tomatillos, and the plants are still flourishing, so they must be a bit more hardy than the tomatoes, the remaining outdoor ones of which have all gone manky and black. Randomly, a teeny tiny aubergine has appeared on the grafter plant, which we gave up for dead a month or so back!
And I've ordered my sweet pea seeds for next year, so those can be started off in the conservatory soon. I caved in and bought a rootrainer tray: although loo rolls stuck on top of small pots do the job, they're top heavy so they're forever falling over. |
