Surprised to see what may be the first signs of autumn this morning, after a sunny day yesterday.
The garden has tiny webs covered with dew this morning. Looking further away there is an early morning fog, something that is probably due to the overnight temperature drop. Time to think about autumn jobs on the allotment such as tidying it and preparing the soil for next year's crops.
I need to make a list of
autumn jobs to do at the plot, but already know these will include adding things to
enrich the soil, such as the compost we make there and buying in and getting delivered some manure.
The
gooseberry bushes need cutting back and the
summer raspberry canes need tidying and tying in.
I have a thornless blackberry that needs to be taken in hand, and gently cut back and fixed to horizontal wires. More on these allotment to do jobs and others soon.
