Lovely fine compost
Hard working worms
Wormery
Note the best area of dahlias, next to the wormery
I removed the tomato plant, loads of green tomatoes
popped into paper bags, left on the table,
they will ripen over the next few weeks.
still loads of colour
My wormery is doing well, all kitchen waste is put in here, the compost looks fine and rich, and the juice from the bottom helps feeds my plants, when we get heavy rain the bottom sump fills up, so often I open the tap and let some drain into the garden, hence my wonderful growth on the dahlia bush next to the worms. I have no plans to use the compost until next spring.
We managed a couple of hours in the garden, me in the greenhouse, hubby about our tiny plot doing chores, the new season is here, leaves are dropping and require picking up each day, spider webs everywhere. The warm sunshine was lovely on Sunday afternoon, I do love a warm September day, always a bonus.
I have stopped picking blackberries, the few remaining are for the birds, I have been making cordons for the brambles to grow along, I want the long garage wall to be full of fruit next year, plus I am trying to get them over my shed.
In the next week, I have bulbs to plant, cutting to take and create a new raised garden in the greenhouse. I also need to shop for gravel, slate and pebbles, not too many of each. I at my most happiest when I have a garden plan and it's all ready to go.
That compost looks fabulous. Your dahlias are a sure sign of the goodness in your garden.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are really organized with your garden chores.
ReplyDeleteI've started planting my bulbs but i'm afraid I haven't been out in the garden much over this last week.
I've not done much, my to do list is longer than normal.
DeleteHow lovely to enjoy the autumn sunshine-I’m much happier now the really hot weather is past. Your garden looks so productive with food to eat and flowers to enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI don't get huge amounts of each produce, but I do like to have some harvest from my tiny plot.
DeleteYour dahlias are magnificent.
ReplyDeletelove reading about your beautiful garden and what it produces.clever you.x
ReplyDeleteYou just reminded me to take the huge spider web down when coming in the back door. I hate to but company coming tomorrow evening! I sure wish I could have sent you the worms I cleaned up this weekend. Wax (bee) moth. They took over some of the honey frames I was storing in the pole barn. I've been beekeeping since 2003 and have never had such a problem. I figured some fisherman would have paid me for the mess. Instead I spent the weekend cleaning it up!

Your garden looks good for both flowers and vegetables, nice to see your photographs here, thanks.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Garden looking good. I rather like the end-of-summer straightening up in the greenhouse :)
ReplyDeleteWe have a worm farm too, Marlene, and it's fantastic how they turn ordinary kitchen scraps into goodness for the garden. Your dahlias look lovely. I don't grow them myself but the fellow next door does and they are quite beautiful! Meg:)
