November 2015 - the dark season.

Sunday 8th November 2015

After driving back up from Birmingham after the Slimming World Woman of the Year competition.  Got me garlic in,  weeded bed number two, weeded bed number one and covered it up. Brought home a load of spuds, onions, a butternut squash that had been hiding, a cabbage, some sweet corn. Also got started on getting me paths in.  Put down some weed cover material, slabs and wood bark that have had on the plot for months and months (and months)  All good stuff.   Will have to put some time in next week as well. 

Bed 1 weeded and covered up for Winter. 

Weeded bed that's got winter Brassicas in it. 

Got me garlic in, onions coming on nicely.

Nipped down lotty, took five slabs, took rubbish off the plot.  Missus got a load of cabbages and stuff, found the garlic that had gone missing the previous week!   All good stuff.  Didn't stop too long.

Borrowed Phil's van, fetched the non-finished water butt back home.  Drilled a hole for the tap and a hole for overflow pipe.  Got it back down and connected to the other one and water going in it already.  So pleased with that.  Got both bean rows taken down - the missus says to leave the bean plants on the ground cause that's what Monty Don does?  Got some more of the daffodils and tulips planted so pleased with that. Got the 8foot canes put away in the slightly longer than it should be shed 7 - am going to have to do some more tool hooks though as the canes are just covering the tools!  I know there's some spare hooks in Missus' shed at home.
