End of Summer

Summer officially ended this weekend, however, the sun shone brightly all Saturday, the sky was blue not a cloud to be seen and beautifully warm all day.  So I was in the garden all day.

I planted 75 of the Allium bulbs, started to cut in some new flower beds, planted Spring Cabbages, re-sited the compost bin, uplifted the red onions, picked another large handful of chilli peppers to dry and dumped the squash that the squirrel had started to eat !

Sunday the weather was much cooler and cloudy, I didn't have the same inclination to get out there and start digging.  Geoff did make the cuts in the old patio for its 'new' shape.  So we need a few more dry weekends to finish up a few jobs in the garden if we can.




This summer although slow to start was the warmest since 2006, we have had a really good run of warm dry sunny days.
