Summer’s End

Well that’s pretty much it. October is nearly here and our summer is over. It’s been a pretty good one. We’ve just had our last BBQ in the garden after yesterday giving it a good old clean up. As you can see, I’ve really been neglecting the driveway – now it looks unbelievably spacious!

Most of the plants are dying back or being pruned – we’ve picked our berries and taken seed from the rocket. Only the pumpkin and the butternut squash are still going strong. More on that pumpkin when I pick it. We’ve kept the berry bush punings to dry out and use for mulch around the strawberries which have been the surprise success.
